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

A man walks through a city as memories and imagination take over. The film blends human relationships, nostalgia, and war, following a solitary artist searching for meaning and emptiness.

What happens

droite La Silhouette sinon l'ombre est un film du Prix Nobel de littérature Gao Xingjian, réalisé en 2003. L'Homme marche dans la ville. Bien vite les souvenirs et l'imaginaire, la création à l'état pur prennent le pas et véhiculent une vie inachevée, portée, entre la vie et la mort, par les relations humaines, homme et femme, individu et foule, nostalgie de l'enfance et guerre... L'artiste solitaire et toujours en quête, à la recherche d'un espace incertain, d'un sens du vide, nous entraîne dans un film excessivement subtil et poétique. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
