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

Rockumentário ist ein Dokumentarfilm der portugiesischen Regisseurin Sandra Castiço aus dem Jahr 2006. Der Filmtitel ist ein Kofferwort aus Rock (für den Oberbegriff Rockmusik) und Documentário (portugiesisch für: Dokumentarfilm) und umschreibt damit, wie sein englisches Pendant Rockumentary, auch diesen Dokumentarfilm, der sich mit der alternativen Musikszene in der alten Universitätsstadt Coimbra beschäftigt.
