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

Dios bendiga el Paraguay (Dieu bénisse le Paraguay) est un documentaire réalisé par le Français Gregory Schepard, à l'occasion de la campagne présidentielle de 2008 du candidat Fernando Lugo au Paraguay. Il est devenu célèbre quand une scène montrant la corruption orchestrée par un militant du parti colorado, José Alvarenga, a été publiée sur YouTube, à la suite de ses accusations récentes contre le mouvement des indignés paraguayens.
