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 German documentary follows the last residents of three villages in southern Saxony-Anhalt. The towns are being demolished to make way for a coal mine underneath.

What happens

Land am Wasser ist ein deutscher Dokumentarfilm von Tom Lemke. Er begleitet die letzten Bewohner von drei Dörfern im Süden Sachsen-Anhalts, deren Orte wegen der Braunkohle verschwinden mussten, damit diese darunter abgebaut werden kann. Die Dreharbeiten dauerten von 2003 bis 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
