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

A silent film set in Alaska during the gold rush. It contrasts snowy landscapes with the rough life in a dance hall where miners look for relief from hard work.

What happens

The Brand – amerykański film oparty na opowiadaniu Rexa Beacha, który napisał także scenariusz do tej produkcji. Fabuła została osadzona w Alasce w czasach gorączki złota. Z efektownymi, śnieżnymi krajobrazami kontrastuje akcja rozgrywająca się w lokalnej tancbudzie, w której koncentruje się życie górniczej społeczności szukającej wytchnienia od ciężkiej pracy.
