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

Mutum is a 2007 joint Brazilian/French drama film directed and co-written by Sandra Kogut. The script, developed by Kogut and Ana Luísa Martins Costa, is loosely based on Guimarães Rosa's novella Campo Geral . The story takes place on an isolated farm in Mutum, in the sertão of Minas Gerais. The film represented Kogut's fiction feature debut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
