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

Breakfast er en eksperimentalfilm instrueret af Jenö Farkas efter manuskript af Jenö Farkas. Filmen forsøger at nyvurdere det filmiske sprogs muligheder gennem en 14-årig drengs tankeportræt. Han befinder sig i skæringspunktet mellem at være barn og voksen. En sindstilstand, hvor han sanseligt søger sin øjeblikkelige identitet. Filmen starter med en stillestående sommerstemning. Drengen sidder med en kvinde på husets terrasse og spiser morgenmad. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
