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

Éloïse Delsart, dite Ovidie, née le 25 août 1980 à Lille, est une réalisatrice, journaliste, écrivaine, chercheuse, enseignante et actrice française. Elle débute comme actrice pornographique (de 1999 à 2003), expérience qu'elle qualifie d'« anecdotique » dans son livre La chair est triste hélas publié en 2023. Elle passe ensuite derrière la caméra, en réalisant d'abord des films X dans la veine de la pornographie féministe, avant de se consacrer exclusivement aux documentaires. Docteure en lettres en 2020, elle est également journaliste et chroniqueuse pour différents médias. Par ailleurs, elle a écrit plusieurs ouvrages, dont la majorité concernent la sexualité ou sa représentation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
