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

Couleurs d'orchestre est un documentaire français réalisé par Marie-Claude Treilhou, sorti en 2007. Approche de l'orchestre symphonique avec l'orchestre de Paris. Ce film se propose d'extraire l'orchestre symphonique de son abstraction, de lui donner du corps, de l'humaniser, pour prendre la mesure du travail qui précède et accompagne le concert, tout ce qui en conditionne l'existence. Le film se situe résolument du côté du travail, de ses conditions, de ses spécificités, finesses et drôleries. Pour donner à la magie musicale tout son soubassement logistique, en renforcer la force émotionnelle, mesurer toute l'envergure de ce phénomène de raffinement, à tous les étages de son élaboration.
