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

This Polish comedy uses the availability of meat as a running joke to poke fun at the country's history and politics. It mixes slapstick, music, and satire to show how changing meat prices could topple governments. The film is a collage of sketches that mock both the past and the people living through it.

What happens

Mięso (Ironica) – polski film fabularny z 1993 r., w reżyserii Piotra Szulkina, który jest również scenarzystą. Film w prześmiewczy sposób podchodzi do historii Polski i jej mieszkańców. Wydarzenia historyczne w filmie są przedstawione w kontekście dostępności mięsa, zwanego w PRL-u "surowcem strategicznym", ponieważ podwyższanie jego cen często kończyło się zmianą ekipy rządzącej. Film jest kolażem socjologicznego eseju, komedii muzycznej i kabaretowej groteski. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
