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
This documentary is about Jorgen Leth's lost footage for an unmade Hollywood film about the Tour de France. In 1986, Leth filmed the race with a helicopter, a modified car, and a camera on a bike. The film was never finished and the footage later vanished.

What happens
The yellow jersey - Leths second unit optagelser er en film instrueret af Jesper Ravn. Under Tour de France i 1986 instruerede Jørgen Leth de såkaldte second unit-optagelser til Hollywoodfilmen The Yellow Jersey. Sammen med et fransk filmhold kunne Leth følge rytterne med hidtil usete tekniske muligheder - blandt andet helikopter, en ombygget bil og et kamera monteret på en cykel. På grund af vanskeligheder med at få filmen finansieret blev The Yellow Jersey aldrig færdiggjort. Siden har Jørgen Leth forgæves forsøgt at få frigivet optagelserne til en dokumentarfilm. I 2007 fik han besked fra USA om, at optagelserne definitivt var forsvundet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
