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

Guilt is a 2009 Greek-Cypriot experimental surrealist horror film written and directed by Vassilis Mazomenos. It stars Nikos Arvanitis as a retired arms dealer, now old and dying, who experiences nightmarish visions that are manifestations of the guilt he feels for his role in three pivotal periods of Cypriot political history: the Cyprus Emergency in the 1950s, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in the 1970s, and the killing of Solomos Solomou in the 1990s.
