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

René je český časosběrný dokumentární film Heleny Třeštíkové z roku 2008. Dokument sleduje sedmnáctiletého Reného Plášila, který pravidelně střídá vězení a svobodu. Kamera ho opět potkává po dvaceti letech. Jeho život se za tu dobu moc nezměnil. Pořád balancuje na hraně zákona. Za tu dobu napsal a publikoval dvě knihy. Jeho cesta vždy vede zpět do vězení, kde si nechává potetovat celé tělo. V průběhu let onemocněl roztroušenou sklerózou. Ve filmu jsou zachyceny jeho názory a pohled na svět.
