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

This Argentine documentary started as a short thesis film about a young person and comics. As it progressed, it turned into a documentary about Argentine graphic comics. It was not commercially released.

What happens

Rayo rojo es una película documental de Argentina de 1999 dirigida por José Luis Cancio sobre su propio guion que no se exhibió comercialmente. Fue pensado como un trabajo de tesis corto sobre un joven y las historietas pero al avanzar el proyecto se fue transformando en un documental sobre las historietas gráficas de Argentina. Se exhibió en el cilo de películas inéditas organizado por la Filmoteca Buenos Aires en junio de 1999 y también en el ciclo Cine Argentino Inédito organizado por la revista Film en julio de 1999.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
