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 documentary assembles private home movies and amateur footage from 1980s Germany. It shows birthday parties, vacation slides, and explicit erotic clips to create a patchwork of everyday life.
