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.

How it feels

The film is about a stubborn shepherd in a Slovak village whose bluntness and pride cause conflicts with the collective farming community. At the same time, young people pursue their own love stories, ignoring the old grudges.

What happens

Očovské pastorále je slovenský film režiséra Jozefa Zachara z roku 1973 o chlapskej cti a odvahe. Príbeh baču, ktorého škriepnosť a papuľnatosť vyvoláva len spory a hnevy a jeho poctivosť a zmysel pre pravdu a česť v spojení s predošlým vlastnosťami tieto spory len vyhrocuje. Slovenská dedina s jej kolektívnym hospodárením, konfrontovaná s návykmi hranatej povahy, odchovanej ešte súkromným hospodárením, vytvára hlavnú zápletku a konflikt. Súbežne prebieha lyrický motív mladej generácie, ktorej ľúbostné vzťahy sa nestarajú o dávne smiešne hnevy starej generácie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
