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 parallels the construction of two tunnels through the Saint Gotthard massif, the railway tunnel from 1872 to 1882 and the highway tunnel from 1969 to 1976. It focuses on the labor migration and the workers' experiences, including a violent strike repressed by the Swiss militia. The story also covers historical figures Alfred Escher and Louis Favre.

What happens
San Gottardo è un film del 1977 diretto da Villi Hermann. San Gottardo mette in parallelo i due grandi trafori del massiccio del San Gottardo: lo scavo della galleria ferroviaria (1872‑1882) e lo scavo del tunnel autostradale (1969-1976). È dunque un film sull’emigrazione e sullo spostamento delle forze lavoratrici Il film ci mostra una parte di storia svizzera narrata attraverso Alfred Escher e Louis Favre. Il film mette in luce fatti storici come lo sciopero degli operai del San Gottardo che fu violentemente represso dalla milizia svizzera. Il film si conclude con un quadro sintetico nel quale la ricostruzione storica dell’inaugurazione del monumento di Alfred Escher si integra sul fondo della Bahnhofstrasse di Zurigo.
