The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This documentary looks at a factory owner in East Germany who is also a member of parliament. It shows the apparent contradiction of being a capitalist in a socialist country.

What happens

DDR - middelstand og socialisme er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1971 med instruktion og manuskript af Tørk Haxthausen. Walter Riedel er ejer af en fabrik i Dresden og desuden medlem af DDR's parlament, Volkskammer, valgt af den Kristelig-Demokratiske Union. Filmen skildrer det tilsyneladende paradoksale ved hans tilværelse som "kapitalist i en socialistisk stat". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
