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
The film strings together old educational and industrial footage from the mid 20th century. It creates a dreamy and disjointed visual poem without a traditional story.

What happens

It is composed out of found images from the 1940s–1950s from different sources such as educational hm and soundtrack. It is closely related to Valse Triste, another found footage short by Bruce Conner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
