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

The film documents life in a Romanian village where most residents live outside the formal economy. It focuses on the sounds of daily activities like work, singing, and the hum of homemade vehicles.

What happens

The Noise of Letea ist ein Dokumentarfilm des Berliner Filmemachers Matthias Leupold über ein Dorf, dessen Bewohnende größtenteils außerhalb des offiziellen Wirtschaftskreislaufs leben. Der Film wurde im Jahr 2016 in Letea, Rumänien, gedreht. Sein Leitmotiv ist der Klang: ein Esel schreit, der Wind pfeift, eine Angel taucht in den Fluss ein, die Menschen arbeiten und singen, und die selbst zusammengeschweißten Fahrzeuge tuckern. Der Film wurde im Dezember 2016 beim Short to the Point–Festival gezeigt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
