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

E is a Finnish experimental drama film directed and written by musician and filmmaker Anna Eriksson. It is the concluding part of Eriksson's letter trilogy, with the previous installments being M (2018) and W (2022). The trilogy explores themes of femininity, power, sexuality, and the subconscious through cinematic expression. E tells the story of Finland's former prime minister, Eva Vogler, who causes a scandal at the Nobel Gala and disappears into a desolate desert of the real. In the desert, she meets her doppelgänger and other lost characters. The film is produced by Ihode Management Ltd with Matti Pyykkö as the producer. The distribution of the film is handled by Pirkanmaan elokuvakeskus. It is set to release theatrically in September 2025. The film premiered at the 2025 Locarno Film Festival.
