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 man celebrates his birthday while experiencing hallucinations that make him question his sanity. The film uses disjointed editing and surreal imagery to suggest a modern version of a myth where the god drives him mad.

What happens

Oh Babylone est un film grec réalisé par Costas Ferris et sorti en 1987. Adaptation moderne des Bacchantes d'Euripide. Un moderne Penthée célèbre son anniversaire. Cependant, il hallucine et ce qu'il voit finit par lui faire douter de sa propre santé mentale. Dionysos est absent en tant que personnage. Il est incarné par le film lui-même dont les scènes d'hallucinations et le montage achronologique évoquent la façon dont un moderne Penthée est rendu fou par le dieu. Le film refuse toute forme de narration. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
