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.

What happens

St. Stephan – Der lebende Dom (internationaler Titel: St. Stephen's – The Living Cathedral) ist ein österreichischer Dokumentarfilm des Regisseurs und Kameramanns Georg Riha aus dem Jahr 1997. Der Film entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bundesministerium für Unterricht und kulturelle Angelegenheiten und dem ORF für die Naturdokumentations-Reihe ORF-Universum. Anlässlich des 850. Geburtstags des Wiener Stephansdoms porträtiert die Dokumentation das berühmte Kirchengebäude nicht primär als Architekturjuwel, sondern als überraschend reichhaltiges Biotop für Tiere und Pflanzen.
