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 film that consists of a single long, sorrowful gaze into the camera, filled with love and pity. It was shot on the day of a hotel fire in Leningrad during the winter of 1991. The viewer looks into the eyes of the screen, sharing a moment of shared grief.
