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 traveler drifts through museums and landscapes while a voice comments on what he sees. The film follows a dream journey that blurs the line between real places and art.

What happens
Elegia di un viaggio o Elegia del viaggio (Elegiya dorogi) è un film mediometraggio del 2001 scritto e diretto da Aleksandr Sokurov. Per certi aspetti il film anticipa il successivo Arca russa. Entrambi i film, infatti, mostrano un viaggio onirico visto dagli occhi del protagonista, del quale sentiamo la voce che commenta, e in entrambi i film si "esplora" un museo, le cui opere vengono riprese e commentate.
