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.

How it feels

A short Slovenian film about two anti-heroes one blind and one unable to move who live on their own. They both suffer from unfulfilled love and face the question of where to go from there. The final color sequence leaves all possibilities open.

What happens

Naprej je slovenski kratki film iz leta 1998 in adaptacija sedemstranskega stripa U poteri za razularenom pičkom Darka Perovića in Enriqueja Sancheza Abulija, ki je bila objavljena v sedmi številki revije Stripburger. Igralci in ekipa so bili prostovoljci. Zgodba je situacijska tragikomedija dveh antijunakov, slepega in nepokretnega, ki kljub hendikepu živita samostojno življenje, nato pa ju prizadene neizpolnjena ljubezen. Znajdeta se pred vprašanjem - kam? Zadnja sekvenca, ki je v barvah, pušča odprte vse možnosti. Za Matjaža Javšnika in Draga Milinovića je bil to filmski debi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
