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.

What happens

Sarah & hij is een korte film uit 2007 die is geproduceerd in het kader van Kort! 7. Sarahs vriend wil de verjaardag van hun relatie vieren met een gezellig diner, maar Sarah heeft eigenlijk geen tijd en aandacht voor hem. Ze ziet hem boos vertrekken. Uit haar raam ziet ze vervolgens vier andere stelletjes, elk met hun eigen strubbelingen. Ze ziet haar eigen relatie weerspiegeld in die van de anderen en trekt hier een les uit.
