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 film looks at the life and work of Swiss painter Giovanni Segantini. It covers his difficult early years, his artistic growth under open skies, and his complex feelings about love, sexuality, and mortality. The story follows his relentless climb to higher altitudes in search of light and ends with his early death in a mountain hut.
