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

This documentary updates Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1964 film Love Meetings by asking people in Italy about their views on love and relationships. It was shot entirely on a camera phone, giving it a raw and personal feel.

What happens

New Love Meetings is an Italian documentary film made on a Nokia N90, the first feature film shot entirely with a Camera phone.

New Love Meetings was produced by Michele Neri and directed by Barbara Seghezzi and Marcello Mencarini.
