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

A documentary essay where the filmmaker presents his theory that the natural environment of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region drives people mad. He combines personal stories, interviews about local incidents, and sweeping landscape shots to support his argument.

What happens

La Terre de la folie est un documentaire français réalisé par Luc Moullet et sorti en 2010. Film mi-documentaire mi-essai, le réalisateur Luc Moullet expose sa thèse sur la folie dans les Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, sa terre d'origine. Les conditions naturelles de cette région, qu'il arrive à réduire à un pentagone, seraient propices au développement de la folie. Le récit s'articule autour de l'expérience personnelle du réalisateur et de nombreux témoignages relatifs à des faits divers. Les paysages (majestueux) jouent un rôle central dans la narration du film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
