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
This documentary tells the stories of gay men who lived in East Germany. It focuses on their personal experiences, struggles, and everyday lives under a socialist regime that was repressive toward homosexuality. The film blends interviews with archival footage to show a hidden part of East German history.
