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

In late 1980s Finland, a woman operates as a con artist. Her schemes unfold against a backdrop of economic and social change. The film is a metaphor for Finnish society during that period.

What happens

Anita on suomalainen Peter Lindholmin ohjaama draamaelokuva vuodelta 1994. Käsikirjoittaja Olli-Pekka Parviainen sai idean Anitaan 1980-luvun lopulla vaikuttaneesta naishuijarista. Hän valmisti ensin luonnoksen, josta työstettiin edelleen elokuvakäsikirjoitus. Elokuva ei kuitenkaan pohjaudu suoraan tositapahtumiin. Lindholm määritteli Anitan "metaforaksi suomalaisesta yhteiskunnasta 1980-luvun lopulla ja 1990-luvun alussa." Elokuvasta tehtiin myös kolmiosainen televisiosarja nimellä Huijarinainen.
