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

Animated in a woodcut print style, this film follows a landowner whose authority is repeatedly challenged by a mysterious bull that appears in extraordinary ways. Inspired by Brazilian folk stories, it mixes visual art with music that shifts from orchestral to folk songs.

What happens

Boi Aruá (1984) é um longa-metragem de animação brasileiro, dirigido por Chico Liberato. O filme é baseado no livro O Boi Aruá de Luís Jardim. A estética do filme é inspirada na xilogravura de literatura de cordel, conta a história de um fazendeiro cujo poder é desafiado sete vezes pela extraordinária aparição de um boi misterioso, o Boi Aruá. A orquestração de Ernst Widmer acompanha a inventividade do contexto e, ao escutar a música de Elomar na segunda metade do filme, tudo faz sentido. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
