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 film about a one-eyed man whose perception of reality blurs the line between sanity and madness. It follows his experiences as ordinary events take on odd and disorienting meanings.

What happens

Simão, o Caolho é um filme brasileiro, rodado em 1952, dirigido por Alberto Cavalcanti e produzido em preto e branco pela Companhia Cinematográfica Maristela, tendo estreado em 1 de dezembro do mesmo ano nos cinemas do Circuito Serrador. Alberto Cavalcanti utilizou-se da mesma ideia central de Dead of Night, filme do diretor rodado alguns anos antes na Inglaterra, no qual a razão e a loucura estão separadas por uma tênue linha.
