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

The film is set entirely in the Czech Republic and follows a few characters through ordinary, slightly absurd situations. An Icelandic man appears occasionally and speaks English mixed with a little Icelandic. The story focuses on everyday interactions with a quiet, unusual tone.

What happens

Silný kafe er kvikmynd sem var samframleidd á Íslandi og Tékklandi. Leikstjóri og handritshöfundur var Börkur Gunnarsson. Myndin var öll tekin í Tékklandi þar sem hún gerist, og aðeins tveir íslendingar birtast í myndinni. Þeir tala dálítið af íslensku sín á milli en þó aðallega á ensku. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
