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

What happens
Nacht der Gaukler ist ein 1996 erschienener Schweizer Spielfilm von Michael Steiner. Während einer kafkaesken Bilderfahrt in Schwarzweiss, erzählt der Film das Schicksal des sensiblen und angepassten Revisors Klaus Koska, der in einem europäischen Faschismus der Vergangenheit Zeuge eines politischen Mordes wird und danach ausgerechnet selbst unter falschen Tatverdacht gerät. Ins Visier des menschenverachtenden Überwachungsstaats geraten, tritt der Zeuge eine Flucht nach innen und nach aussen an, um den Häschern des Systems, die ihm den Tod wünschen, zu entkommen.
