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.

What happens

Película rodada en 35 mm. Blanco y negro. Distribuida por METROPOL FILM. Se dispone de ficha editada para su proyección en cines comerciales. Así mismo sabemos que existían dos versiones, la primera muda corresponde al copión de nitrato y por lo tanto se debe considerar como el montaje original, la segunda versión es la que se decide que se va a publicar en cines, por lo que se modifica al introducir el sonido, eliminando las referencias a Saltos del Duero y a parte del abandono de la Pueblica.
