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

Nujiang, la Vallée perdue (chinois simplifié : 怒江,一条丢失的峡谷 ; pinyin : Nùjiāng, yītiáo diūshī de xiágǔ) est un film documentaire franco-chinois réalisé par Lu Yue et sorti en 1990. La gorge de Nujiang se trouve au nord-ouest de la province du Yunnan, en Chine, à la frontière avec la Birmanie et le Tibet. Elle abrite des minorités ethniques telles que les Lisu, les Nu, les Dulong, les Yi, les Bai, les Tibétains et les Jingpo. Ce documentaire, tourné en 1986 et monté en 1989, offre une description détaillée des célébrations festives et des rituels religieux des habitants de la gorge. Après sa projection, le film reçoit le Grand Prix Nanook - Jean Rouch au Comité du film ethnographique. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
