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

Girls & Gods is a 2025 Austrian documentary film directed by Arash T. Riahi and Verena Soltiz, initiated and written by Ukrainian FEMEN activist Inna Shevchenko. The film follows Shevchenko as she travels to meet women from diverse backgrounds to discuss women’s rights and religion. It features notable figures like Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot and French cartoonist Coco, whose satirical feminist drawings recur throughout the film. It balances serious debate with cinematic storytelling, observational humor, and a visual rather than academic approach. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
