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

Kolyma – Straße der Knochen ist ein Dokumentarfilm des polnischen Regisseurs Stanisław Mucha (* 1970) von 2017. Die Dokumentation entstand, als Mucha um die 2000 km entlang der Fernstraße R504 im Russlands Fernen Osten fuhr, welche auch die „Straße der Knochen“ (selten: Straße des Todes) genannt wird. Deren Verlauf entspricht in weiten Teilen der heutigen R504. Mucha wollte den Weg nachzeichnen, den sein Vater 1952, der in ein Gulag-Arbeitslager deportiert wurde, gehen musste.
