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 examines the story of Bruno Wilkomirski, who wrote a famous book about surviving a concentration camp as a child only to be exposed as a fraud. The film looks at how the lie happened, how Wilkomirski sees it years later, and what it reveals about Switzerland and modern society.
