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

Emigrantes... e Depois? é um documentário português, realizado por António Pedro Vasconcelos, do ano 1976. É um documentário que testemunha a grande deslocação das equipas de cinema das cidades para os campos, atraídas pelos milhares de emigrantes que regressam à sua terra. Este filme tenta seguir, no Verão de 1975, na zona da Guarda, algumas famílias de emigrantes e fixar os dias de cerimónias religiosas (casamentos, procissões) e festividades tradicionais (como as touradas da raia).
