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

This docudrama claims that Adolf Hitler did not die in 1945 but instead escaped to Argentina. It follows the authors' theory that he faked his death and lived out his final years in South America.

What happens

Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler is a 2011 book by Gerrard Williams (1958–2022) and Simon Dunstan. In 2014, the book was adapted as a docudrama film, Grey Wolf: Hitler's Escape to Argentina, directed and written by Williams and produced by Magnus Peterson. The book and film allege that Hitler faked his death rather than dying in Berlin in 1945; both were given extensive coverage in the British media and criticised for their lack of verifiability.
