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

En constantes recurrencias a los archivos se vuelve al pasado, a través de las imágenes que el documentalista registrara hace más de tres décadas. El mismo Nicolás Guillén Landrián explica, en primera persona, los conflictos suyos con su época, que no lo supo comprender enteramente. Realizado por Manuel Zayas.
