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 visits a tiny village in eastern Germany that was left behind by political and economic change. The people who stay there get by with humor and stubbornness, making do with little money and few jobs. The film shows their daily lives, from gardening to butchering pigs, and their attachment to a place others have forgotten.
