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

Balantzatxoa és una pel·lícula espanyola en basc del 1978 dirigida per Juan Miguel Gutiérrez Márquez, basada en una obra de teatre feta per Paco Sagarzazu per al Grup de Teatre Xaribari. És el primer llargmetratge en basc fet al País Basc, adreçat especialment als joves. Va criticar l'autoritarisme de l'ensenyament tradicional: s'hi diu que els problemes d'aculturació i la pèrdua d'identitat que es produeixen entre els nens són a causa de la 'globalització'.
