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 documentary follows Italian emigrants who moved to Switzerland in the 1960s and 70s and have now returned to southern Italy. It captures their thoughts on coming home after decades away and how this return can feel as difficult as leaving was.

What happens

Vento di settembre è un documentario del 2002 diretto da Alexander J. Seiler. Documentario sul rientro degli emigranti che dal sud Italia partirono per la Svizzera tra gli anni sessanta e '70. Molte delle giovani coppie emigrate 40 anni prima, sono ora rientrate. Pensieri e interviste sul tema di un ritorno a casa tanto agognato e sognato, ma che spesso si presenta più duro del previsto. Il rientro sancisce di fatto una nuova spaccatura con il passato e seppure con le dovute proporzioni, può venir vissuto da alcuni come una seconda emigrazione. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
