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

Festung Europa ist ein Film des Regisseurs Želimir Žilnik über das Schicksal von Migranten, die erfolglos versucht haben, illegal in die Europäische Union einzuwandern. Er weist zum einen auf die komplexen Motive hin, die zu Einwanderungsversuchen führen, und vermittelt andererseits auch einen Eindruck von der bedrückenden Situation derer, die zwar erfolgreich eingewandert sind, aber illegal bleiben, weil sie nicht den EU-Richtlinien entsprechen.
