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 documentary examines clocks and time machines from the 1600s in the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon in Dresden. It explores how clocks function as time machines, museums as time depots, and film as a medium of time and space.
