The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

Der Film Zupa (dt. „Suppe“) ist ein Experimentalfilm von Zbigniew Rybczyński aus dem Jahr 1974. Der Kurzfilm wurde in Łódź, Polen, in den Se-ma-for Studios (SMFF) gedreht. Er gehört zu den frühen filmischen Werken Rybczyńskis, und zwar der vierten Videoproduktion des polnischen Künstlers und Malers. Der Film erschien im Original auf 35 mm Analogmaterial. Zupa wird vor allem bestimmt durch einen Mix an diversen Techniken der analogen Filmbearbeitung, wie eingefärbtem Videomaterial, Doppelbelichtungen und Collagen, in denen Skizzen mit Filmmaterial gemischt werden. Das Gezeigte wirkt somit besonders abstrakt und der Film bekommt einen Experimentalfilm-Charakter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
