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 short puppet film tells the old legend of Master Hanus, who built the famous astronomical clock in Prague's Old Town. After the clock first runs in 1490, the town councilors blind the master, and he stops the clock for centuries.
