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
This documentary shows long static shots of decaying buildings and forgotten places in Portugal. The film mixes these images with sparse spoken narration that sometimes feels absurd.

What happens
Ruínas (portugiesisch für: Ruinen) ist ein Dokumentarfilm des portugiesischen Regisseurs Manuel Mozos aus dem Jahr 2009. Im Zusammenspiel mit den in langen Einstellungen gezeigten Bildern erzeugen die eher zurückhaltend eingesetzten gesprochenen Passagen eine kontemplative, gelegentlich aber auch groteske Wirkung.
