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

El cuaderno de barro es una película documental española dirigida por Isaki Lacuesta en el año 2011. La película, protagonizada por el artista español Miquel Barceló, le valió a Lacuesta para alzarse con el premio Nacional de Cine de Cataluña 2012.​ Rodada junto a Los pasos dobles, quinto largometraje de Lacuesta, El cuaderno de barro se desgajó de un proyecto único. Los pasos dobles, también en tono documental, aborda el viaje experimental a un desierto de África con el pintor Miquel Barceló con la idea de encontrar un "tesoro" escondido, según la biografía del artista francés François Augiéras.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
