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

Jour après jour est un documentaire français réalisé par Jean-Daniel Pollet et Jean-Paul Fargier, sorti en 2006. Jean-Daniel Pollet, immobilisé dans un fauteuil dans sa maison à la ferme de Cadenet depuis son grave accident, décide de se donner une règle : prendre au moins une photo par jour et cela pendant un an. C'est le corps du film, entre photographies du quotidien, saisons qui se suivent et poésie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
