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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

Vele bekende filmmakers hebben eraan bijgedragen zoals Hans Fels, Rob Klaasman, Gerard Jacobs, Marijke Jongbloed, Frank Wiering, René Seegers, Steven de Winter, Roel van Dalen, Roel van Broekhoven, Maarten Schmidt, Thomas Doebele, Lex Runderkamp,Theo Uittenbogaard, Gerda Jansen Hendriks, Jos de Putter, Paul Cohen, Sonia Herman Dolz, Pieter Fleury, Martijn van Haalen, Toenke Berkelbach, Ger Poppelaars en Doke Romijn.
