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.

How it feels

Director Fernando Solanas travels across Argentina to interview technicians, engineers, workers, and scientists. He shows how the country's natural and human resources are underused, and contrasts its great wealth with widespread poverty caused by private mismanagement.

What happens

Fernando Solanas parcourt différentes régions de l'Argentine, interviewant des techniciens, des ingénieurs, des travailleurs et des scientifiques, mettant ainsi en évidence le potentiel économique et humain du pays et qui n'est pas utilisé.
