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.

How it feels

Five episodes show the early life of a Slovak writer as she grows up near the end of the 19th century. Her personal development and the relationships around her mirror the rising national and social resistance of the time.

What happens

Šiesta veta je predposledný film slovenského režiséra Štefana Uhera. Natočil ho v roku 1986, dva roky pred svojím záverečným projektom Správca skanzenu. Dielo vzniklo v spolupráci dvoch mladých, vo filme debutujúcich scenáristiek, Hany Cielovej a Zuzany Tatárovej, na základe poviedok slovenskej spisovateľky Boženy Slančíkovej-Timravy (1867-1951), predovšetkým jej ranej novely Bez hrdosti. V piatich epizódach z autorkinej mladosti je zachytený proces formovania jej osobnosti, inšpiračné zdroje a korene jej prác i celá škála vzťahov jednotlivcov k národu, ktorý sa na sklonku 19. storočia začínal otvorene brániť proti národnostnému a sociálnemu útlaku. Za kamerou stál Uhrov dlhoročný dvorný kameraman Stanislav Szomolányi. Film mal premiéru 7. júna 1986 na 38. FFP (Filmovom festivale pracujúcich). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
