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 interviews several Spanish artists who prioritize the spiritual and ennobling aspects of their work over commercial success. It explores their motivations and lifelong dedication to creating art despite social indifference.

What happens
El arte del espíritu es una película documental española dirigida por Karlos Alastruey. Esta película se plantea traer a la pantalla la historia, las reflexiones y el propio proceso creativo de algunos de los artistas que dan más importancia a la función ennoblecedora del arte que a su viabilidad comercial. ¿Por qué en la Historia siempre ha habido artistas y creadores que han antepuesto el genuino proceso creativo a la búsqueda del reconocimiento y las prebendas? ¿Qué motiva a esas personas a persistir toda una vida en su “error” y aceptar la indiferencia social?
