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

In the spring of 1990, a filmmaker talks with street sweepers in Leipzig at night. The workers share their hopelessness and sense of being broken after recent political changes, but they also notice shifts in society around them. They are sure that dirt will never go away.
