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 uses archive footage from 1980s Ljubljana to show how underground theater, punk music, and multimedia performances challenged the country's political and cultural norms. It mixes images of punk bands, porno films, and socialist leaders to portray a subculture that fought against the dominant ideology of the time.

What happens
Staro in novo je slovenski srednjemetražni dokumentarni eksperimentalni video Zemire Alajbegović in Nevena Korde iz leta 1997. Govori o ljubljanski subkulturnem gibanju v osemdesetih, ki je radikalno posegalo v politiko in seksualnost ter nastopalo proti tedanji kulturni hegemoniji. Del tega gibanja sta bila tudi avtorja, ki sta navdih črpala pri ruski avantgardi in Sergeju Eisensteinu. Naslov je iz enega njegovih filmov. V njem so gledališke predstave in nastopi punk skupin v podzemnem klubu, multimedijske predstave elektro rock skupine Borghesia, odlomki porno filmov, ki se izmenjujejo s podobami postaranih socialističnih voditeljev in političnih ritualov, začetki gej in ženskega kluba ter razprave o razmerju med punkom in vladajočo kulturo. Dokumentarni video je bil ustvarjen iz arhivskih materialov in video projektov gledališke skupine FV 112/15, Diska FV, FV videa in založbe FV iz obdobja med letoma 1981 in 1988 (arhivi ŠKD FORUM in Zavod ZANK).
