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

Home est un film franco-autrichien réalisé par Patric Chiha en 2006. Fouad, un homme d’affaires d’une soixantaine d’années d’origine libanaise voyage avec son collègue à travers la Styrie, province autrichienne montagneuse. Ils ont un rendez-vous professionnel dans une usine de textile, mais se perdent dans un village que Fouad semble connaître. En marchant sur les routes et dans les forêts, Fouad se rend compte de son profond sentiment d’étrangeté dans ces lieux qui lui sont pourtant familiers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
