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 Greek student before World War II becomes a prisoner of the Italians, escapes, and joins the resistance. He witnesses a massacre of villagers by Germans and continues fighting through the war and the Greek Civil War, growing more detached and critical as he focuses on his own chosen path.

What happens

L'Aurige (, Iniochos) est un film grec réalisé par Aléxis Damianós et sorti en 1995. « L'aurige » est étudiant juste avant la Seconde guerre mondiale. Durant celle-ci, il est fait prisonnier par les Italiens. Il s'évade et rejoint la résistance. Il assiste au massacre de 70 habitants d'un village par les Allemands. Il continue le combat, mais avec de plus en plus de distance critique. Il assiste de la même façon à la guerre civile. Il se comporte comme un aurige : les yeux fixés vers le but qu'il s'est choisi.
