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 documentary uses six segments to examine the wave of right-wing violence, racism, and hate crimes in Eastern Germany after reunification in the early 1990s. Through interviews with people who lived through it, the film shows how neo-Nazi groups terrorized foreigners and leftists while many local residents looked away or approved.
