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

Zulo és una pel·lícula espanyola de thriller psicològic de baix pressupost del 2006, el primer llargmetratge dirigit per Carlos Martín Ferrera, qui n'és també autor de la història. Va ser rodada durant tot un any, de manera que es pot veure clarament la degradació física del protagonista. El 95% de la pel·lícula està gravada a l'interior d'un pou de 2,80 metres de diàmetre per 6 metres d'altura. Pretén fer una reflexió sobre la llibertat, la tortura i la supervivència de "qualsevol" ésser humà tancat en una realitat. Ha estat doblada al català. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
