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

Et du fils est un film de Raymond Garceau produit en 1972. Sur une île du fleuve Saint-Laurent encerclée par les glaces, un drame se joue entre un père et son fils. Dans un cadre sombre dominé par les émotions dures, le père est un homme âgé attaché aux traditions de ses ancêtres et à son domaine. Son fils, un jeune fêtard, qui rejette ces valeurs d’un autre temps le confronte profondément. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
