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.

How it feels

A man from Sardinia in the 1950s wrestles with whether to carry out a traditional act of revenge. He eventually chooses not to follow through, even though custom says he should, because the old ways no longer fit the changing times.

What happens

Disamistade è un film del 1988 diretto da Gianfranco Cabiddu. Opera prima dello stesso Cabiddu, è ambientato nella Sardegna degli anni '50, ed è incentrato sul tema della vendetta sarda, in questo caso mancata, che il protagonista non vorrà alla fine consumare, seppure legittima secondo la tradizione, ma non più corrispondente allo spirito dei tempi nuovi e delle nuove generazioni.
