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

The filmmaker looks back at the home for the mentally ill that her parents ran on a mountain in the Allgäu region. She explores what it was like to grow up there among the residents. The film is made over seven years and is based on her own memories.
