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

Genèse d'un repas est un documentaire français réalisé par Luc Moullet et sorti en 1978. Partant d'un repas composé d'œufs, de thon en boîte, et de bananes, Luc Moullet remonte la chaîne qui a mené ces aliments à son assiette : responsables de supermarché, grossistes, importateurs, fabricants, ouvriers, entre autres, sont interviewés pour nous amener à comprendre comment tout cela fonctionne.
