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

Nosaltres est un film documentaire sénégalais réalisé en 2006. C’est l’histoire de deux communautés, l’une malienne et l’autre catalane, qui vivent ensemble depuis huit ans, sans s’être jamais adressé la parole. Deux communautés qui se croisent comme des ombres. C’est un film sur la peur de l’autre, de l’étranger. La mise en image d’un jour où ces deux communautés se sont rencontrées. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
