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

Biotopo (en espagnol ; littéralement « Biotope ») est un court métrage documentaire réalisé et écrit par cinéaste Carles Mira sorti en 1973. D'une durée de 23 minutes, il traite de l'environnement de la lagune de l'Albufera de Valence (Espagne) et montre l'évolution des pratiques traditionnelles comme la pêche impactées par la pollution industrielle. Il se place dans la lignée d'autres films tournés vers la même époque comme Sega cega (José Gandía Casimiro, 1972) et Terres d’arròs (Joan Vergara, 1973), traitant de la culture du riz au Pays valencien, reflets des préoccupations environnementales alors émergentes auprès de certains secteurs de la population.
