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

Truckfighters is a documentary directed by Joerg Steineck about the Swedish rock band named Truckfighters. It incorporates various interviews with the band, showing their members working on day-to-day jobs in their home town Örebro, recording the album "Mania" in their studio and following them on tour through Europe. The film, which is documentative in style of narration, signifies itself a "fuzzomentary film". It provides various surreal graphical sequences of fictional and non fictional content, which serve as connective and illustrative elements. A certain graphical style leads as stylistic central theme through the entire film. Truckfighters additionally features short guest appearances of well known names like Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss), Alfredo Hernandez (Kyuss, Yawning Man), Nick Oliveri (Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator). Furthermore it provides guest appearances by singer/songwriter Chris Maher (anchorman) and first hour Kyuss member Chris Cockrell (annotator/off-voice). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
