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.

This documentary blends genres and techniques to tell a story about the town of Petseri and the director's great-grandmother, who was the daughter of a former deputy mayor. The film was one of eight shorts in the collection 'Metsik lõuna' made for Tartu as a European Capital of Culture.
