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

An Italian journalist is arrested in Venezuela and accused of being a revolutionary. He shares a cell with an apolitical photographer and a dedicated guerrilla fighter, while his mother urges him to compromise and his wife hosts shallow discussions about his situation.

What happens

Sierra Maestra () est un film italien d' Ansano Giannarelli, tourné en 1969 et sorti en 1970. Franco, un journaliste italien de gauche, est arrêté au Venezuela. Il est accusé d'être un révolutionnaire, ce qu'il nie tout en admettant sa sympathie pour les opposants au régime. Il est incarcéré et viennent le rejoindre dans sa cellule Emilio, un photographe de mode apolitique et Manolo, un guérillero acharné. La mère de Franco, venue en visite, le supplie en vain de renoncer à sa position intransigeante tandis que dans sa ville natale, on a chez Carla, sa jeune épouse, des échanges creux autour de la position du prisonnier « presque » volontaire.
