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 documentary filmmaker gathers his family to reassemble a toy construction set and recreate childhood memories of their old summer house sold 25 years ago. The film blends psychodrama with real family dynamics as they try to capture a lost sense of happiness.

What happens

J'ai quitté l'Aquitaine est un téléfilm documentaire français réalisé par Laurent Roth en 2005. Dans une forme de psychodrame, il met en scène Laurent Roth lui-même, qui réunit les membres de sa famille autour d'une boîte de jeu de construction afin d'essayer de reconstituer le plus exactement possible le bonheur tel qu'il était dans la maison de famille du Cap Ferret, vendue vingt-cinq ans plus tôt.
