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

What happens
O Segredo (dt.: Das Geheimnis) ist ein Kurzfilm des portugiesischen Regisseurs Edgar Feldman aus dem Jahr 2008. Der 25-minütige Dokumentarfilm entstand teilweise in Schwarz-Weiß-Technik. Feldman interviewte den damals 94-jährigen António Dias Lourenço, der während der Zeit des Estado Novo im kommunistischen Widerstand aktiv war. Dias Lourenço spricht über seine Inhaftierung im Forte de Peniche und seine Flucht aus dem Gefängnis im Jahr 1954. Für den Film kehrten beide an die Stätte seiner Haft zurück. Der Film war 2008 Wettbewerbsbeitrag beim Festival Doclisboa in der Kategorie nationale Kurzfilme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
