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

Perejiles es un documental uruguayo de 2009 dirigido por Federico González Rejón. Su título hace referencia al nombre con el que en el español rioplatense se denota de manera coloquial a las personas que haciéndose pasar por periodistas o colaboradores de un medio de prensa, se presentan en acontecimientos sociales y reuniones de diversa índole para disfrutar de la comida y la bebida que allí pueda ofrecerse.​ Su productor y director retrató el accionar de estas personas en diversos eventos en los que participó como camarógrafo profesional; a ello agregó entrevistas varias a colegas y periodistas de la prensa local.​​​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
