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 film takes a look back at news events, folkways, and thought patterns from the late forties and early fifties. It also explores perceptual phenomena like color space and false tones created by contrasting black-white patterns and repetitive actions. The film works as a notebook of ideas that continues in later works.
