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 short Slovenian experimental dance film. Dancers perform in industrial spaces like a mine, an empty pool, and a 360-meter power plant chimney. It contrasts heavy industry with free and natural human movement.

What happens
Vrtoglavi ptič je slovenski kratki eksperimentalni plesni film iz leta 1997. Film v Trbovljah raziskuje razmerje med ambientom težke industrije ter svetom svobodnega in naravnega telesa. Ples se odvija v prostorih rudarjev, v izpraznjenem mestnem bazenu in na 360-metrskem dimniku elektrarne. Film je produciral plesni zavod En-knap v koprodukciji s TV Slovenija. Podprl ga je Filmski sklad RS. Ko je na slovenskem filmskem maratonu dobil nagrado za najboljši film, se je Ženja Leiler vprašala, če so tekmujoči filmi sploh primerljivi med seboj. Marcel Štefančič je dejal, da je film analiza slovenskega filma, ki naj svojo mrtvo besedo reši s péto ali plesano besedo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
