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 animated short mixes images scratched directly onto film with cut-paper animation that looks like medieval manuscript illustrations. It reflects on the experience and memory of war.

What happens
Souvenirs de guerre (Memories of War) est un court métrage d'animation réalisé en 1982 par Pierre Hébert. Le film entremêle des séquences réalisées en gravure sur pellicule et d'autres réalisées en papier découpé, ces dernières épousant un style proche des enluminures du Moyen Âge tardif.
