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

Το Αγέλαστος Πέτρα (2000) είναι ντοκιμαντέρ από τον σκηνοθέτη Φίλιππο Κουτσαφτή. Το κυρίως θέμα της ταινίας είναι η Ελευσίνα. Τα γυρίσματα της ταινίας διήρκεσαν 10 χρόνια. Η ταινία παρουσιάζει τις ζωές ορισμένων κατοίκων της Ελευσίνας. Καθημερινοί, απλοί άνθρωποι παρελαύνουν μπροστά από τον φακό απαθανατίζοντας έτσι το κομμάτι της Ελευσίνας που κρατάνε μέσα τους.
