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
A Danish experimental film from 1979 about a cartoonist who feels pressured to compromise his work. He has a mental breakdown where he encounters the same people from his daily life but in strange new forms, including a helpful witch and several tormenting characters.

What happens
At være eller la' være er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1979 instrueret af Bent Barfod. Hovedpersonen, en tegner, spillet af Louis Miehe-Renard, føler, at han tvinges til at gå på akkord i sit arbejde. Det medfører, at han "flipper ud" i sin tankegang. Her møder han de samme personer som i hverdagen, men i andre skikkelser. Susse Wold optræder som en rar, lidt skuffet heks, som henviser tegneren til sit tip-tip-tip-oldebarn (også Susse Wold), en ekspeditrice, som prøver at skaffe ham Lykkens Galoscher. Jess Ingerslev er hovedpersonens forskellige plageånder: Bureaudirektør, flabet ven og ophøjet kunstmaler, videnskabsmand, Godot-vagabond og Napoleon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
