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 French short film that watches people in high stakes public places like an auction house, a horse racetrack, and a stock exchange. It shows how their body movements and gestures reveal tension, ambition, and the pressures of performance.

What happens
Faits et Gestes est un court métrage français réalisé par Emmanuel Descombes et sorti en 1993. Le court-métrage explore des lieux où les enjeux économiques et sociaux sont prégnants, comme une vente aux enchères à l'Hôtel Drouot, une course à l'hippodrome d'Auteuil, et le marché à la Bourse de Paris. Le film révèle comment les gestes et les mouvements des corps expriment des tensions, des ambitions, et des dynamiques humaines dans ces espaces où l'engagement et la performance sont essentiels.
