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

Trois Soldats allemands est un film documentaire français réalisé par François Caillat en 2001. À partir d’un fait divers – l’exhumation, dans un jardin, d’un cadavre de soldat inconnu – ce film révèle une histoire complexe et mouvementée qui s’est déroulée en Lorraine pendant cent ans. On y croise des destins confus, des morts violentes et des exils. On entend parler de familles déchirées, de frontières indécises et de patries changeantes. Une enquête romanesque, un regard personnel sur l’Histoire et la mémoire des lieux. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
