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

جستجوگر فیلمی به کارگردانی محمد متوسلانی و نویسندگی اسماعیل خلج و میهن بهرامی ساختهٔ سال ۱۳۶۸ است. فیلم با بودجه بنیاد فارابی و در راستای ترویج سینمای عرفانی دهه شصت و سیاست تغییر ذائقه فیلمسازان قدیمی به سمت موضوعات دینی و معرفتی تهیه شده و علت انتخاب متوسلانی نیز همین امر بوده است.
