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

Lágrimas negras est un film documentaire néerlando-cubain réalisé par Sonia Herman Dolz, sorti en 1997. Le film, consacré au groupe cubain Vieja Trova Santiaguera, est une sorte de Buena Vista Social Club avant l'heure puisqu'il sort un an avant ce dernier et qu'il montre l'apothéose du groupe de papys cubains formé en 1994, soit deux ans avant celui de Ry Cooder, Compay Segundo et consorts.
