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

The Feast (hostina) je etnografický film, který vznikl při spolupráci amerického filmaře Tima Asche a amerického antropologa Napoleona Chagnona. Film byl vytvořen především jako učební pomůcka pro studenty antropologie a příbuzných oborů. Předmětem zkoumání filmu jsou jihoameričtí indiáni kmene Janomamo, žijící na území Venezuely, kteří jsou společně s křováky považováni za nejčastěji filmovanou neliterární kulturu na světě.
