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
A cache of old film reels is discovered in a chest in an old house. They reveal a symposium from years ago where an eccentric rich man gathered artists and scientists. Their goal was to create a dance that would show how the spirit of life was born from the cosmos.

What happens
Der Geist des Lebens er en dokumentarfilm fra 2010 instrueret af Deniz Eroglu. På bunden af en skibskiste i et gammelt hus ligger der en stak smalfilmspoler og venter på at fortælle historien om engang, hvor den excentriske rigmand Asger Bøgedahl inviterede syv kunstnere og videnskabsfolk fra hele verden til at deltage i et symposium, hvis formål skulle være at forene kunsten og videnskaben i ét altomfattende værk: en dans, der beskriver hvordan livets ånd fødtes ud af kosmos. En åndsværkets triumf, omsat i materiel form af de bedste hjerner indenfor virkets felter. Og for så vidt ligger den minutiøst detaljerede mise-en-scène i 'Der Geist des Lebens' i naturlig forlængelse af det himmelstræbende projekt, den selv beskriver. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
