The Screen, Just the Screen (1978)

Original title

Schermo-Schermo

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

A fixed camera records a screen being bombarded by film frames. Multiple projectors play loops of everyday scenes that speed up and slow down. The result is a portrait of the screen as a freezer of images, with a televised face punctured by a smaller film screen.
