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

Flamenco, flamenco es una película dirigida por Carlos Saura sobre el arte flamenco en 2010.​ Es la segunda parte de la cinta del mismo director dirigida en 1995 bajo el título Flamenco.​ La fotografía corrió a cargo de Vittorio Storaro. Fue estrenada en Estados Unidos en 2014. A diferencia de su anterior film, Saura no busca que cada cuadro musical tenga una relación interna que construya una historia, sino que cada momento musical tiene su propia construcción visual y su sentido interno.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
