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

Seelenvögel ist ein Dokumentarfilm von Thomas Riedelsheimer. Er handelt von drei an Leukämie erkrankten Kindern, die sich mit dem Thema „Tod“ auseinandersetzen. Die Premiere fand am 28. Juni 2009 beim Filmfest München statt, bundesweiter Kinostart war am 5. November 2009. Der Titel lehnt sich vermutlich an die Vorstellung von einer nach dem Tod in Gestalt einer Taube beim Gestorbenen als Seelenvogel klagende Seele an. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
