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

Survivors of World War II death camps in Croatia tell their own stories of survival, solidarity, and reconciliation. The documentary uses only these firsthand testimonies with no archival footage.

What happens

Zaveštanje (Serbian Cyrillic: Завештање, lit. 'The Testament') is a 2016 Serbian documentary film directed by Ivan Jović. The film features firsthand testimonies from survivors of World War II-era death camps operated by the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), focusing on their experiences of survival, acts of solidarity, and post-war reconciliation. Stylistically compared to Shoah (1985), the film relies exclusively on oral histories without archival footage. Jović has stated plans for sequels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
