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

L'Origine du monde est un court métrage français réalisé par Érick Malabry et sorti en 2004. Quand il arrive dans un petit village rural, Pierre a vingt-deux ans. C'est son premier poste. Derrière le rideau gris des pluies de novembre, entre deux dictées, le jeune instituteur s'abandonne aux rêves les plus secrets, violents et troubles comme les flots que roule la rivière, en contrebas des maisons.
