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

Imatra è un film del 2007 diretto da Corso Salani. Si tratta di un falso documentario, o commistione di fiction e documentario, nella versione a durata piena del terzo capitolo della serie di sei intitolata Confini d'Europa (2006-2007) (segue Ceuta e Gibilterra e Rio de Onor, precede Tusli, Chişinău e Yotvata). È un viaggio nell'Unione europea che si conclude però significativamente in un kibbutz israeliano. Presentato in concorso nella sezione Cineasti del Presente del Festival di Locarno 2007, ha ricevuto il Premio speciale della giuria Ciné Cinéma. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
