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.

What happens

Leaning into the Wind – Andy Goldsworthy ist ein 2017 veröffentlichter 97-minütiger Dokumentarfilm über den britischen Landartkünstler Andy Goldsworthy. Die Kamera beobachtet den Herstellungsprozess von Goldworthys mehr oder weniger schnell vergänglicher Land Art – aus natürlichen Materialien wie Steinen, Blättern, Holz, Schnee oder Eis – im Zusammenspiel mit Wind und Regen. Der Film wurde von Thomas Riedelsheimer erstellt, die Musik von Fred Frith. Riedelsheimer hatte bereits 2001 einen Film über Goldsworthy gemacht, Rivers and Tides, der mehrfach ausgezeichnet wurde. In der Süddeutschen Zeitung heißt es zum Künstler: „Darum geht es in vielen Aktionen: eine Spur hinterlassen, die von der Natur wieder vereinnahmt wird.“ Kinostart in Deutschland war der 14. Dezember 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
