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

Loxoro es un cortometraje peruano dirigido por Claudia Llosa y estrenado en 2011. Presentado en el marco del proyecto Fronteras, de la cadena de televisión por cable TNT, el corto pretende reflexionar sobre la idea de frontera desde la perspectiva de las barreras que existen dentro de la comunidad gay y transexual en Perú. El lóxoro es el lenguaje cifrado utilizado por la comunidad trans de Perú para mantener su intimidad y protegerse de las agresiones.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
