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

After his dog disappears, a man in Addis Ababa prompts his filmmaker friends to consider the many stray dogs in the city. The film looks at how people relate to these animals and uses that as a starting point for a playful, ironic take on Western views of Ethiopia.
