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 film is based on the nearly 20-year correspondence between poets Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan. Two modern performers read their letters aloud in a Vienna radio studio. The actors also break character to discuss the poets' relationship and their own lives.

What happens

Die Geträumten ist ein österreichischer Film von Ruth Beckermann, der auf dem fast 20-jährigen Briefwechsel zwischen der Dichterin Ingeborg Bachmann und dem Dichter Paul Celan basiert. Es handelt sich nicht um eine klassische Filmbiografie, sondern eine Mischung aus Experimental- und Spielfilm. Die Musikerin Anja Plaschg und der Schauspieler Laurence Rupp spielen sich selbst, wie sie die Briefe im Wiener Funkhaus lesen. Immer wieder gibt es auch improvisierte Aufnahmen von den Pausen, in denen sie über die Beziehung der beiden Liebenden, aber auch über ihre eigene Situation reflektieren. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
