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.

How it feels

A mockumentary imagines that Hitler survived World War II and lived on in secret. The film presents this alternate history in a deadpan documentary style.

What happens

One Hundred Years of Evil is a 2010 mockumentary positing the possibility that Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany, did not commit suicide at the end of World War II in Europe, in 1945. The film was directed by Erik Eger and Magnus Oliv, who also wrote the screenplay, along with Olly Blackburn and Joacim Starander. Starring actors include Jon Rekdal, Jordi Almeida, Alexander Bareis, Lucy Bermingham, Jack Frankel and Andrea Sooch. The film was screened as an official selection at the 2010 Stockholm International Film Festival, the 2011 Fantasia International Film Festival, and the 2011 International Film Festival Rotterdam. It received a generally positive reception from reviewers including Fangoria, Ain't It Cool News, IndieWire, and the Montreal Gazette. Cinemagazine compared the film to Zelig by filmmaker Woody Allen, and a review for the Fantasia International Film Festival likened it to Forgotten Silver by director Peter Jackson.
