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

Rastas est un film documentaire portugais réalisé par Neni Glock, sorti en 2003. Ce documentaire traite du mode de vie « rasta » au Portugal. Il montre comment vit dans la ville un groupe de personnes qui croient en une philosophie de la non-violence venue d’Éthiopie, qui croient au Jáh Rastafari, le fils de Dieu sur la Terre, qui sont passionnés de reggae et de ses messages de paix, principalement diffusés dans les chansons de Bob Marley. Le film montre aussi la famille « One Love Family », des musiciens et adeptes de la philosophie rasta, qui ont choisi de se marginaliser du système qu’ils surnomment « Babylone », pour vivre une vie plus pure et plus salutaire à la campagne, dans les environs de Coimbra.
