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

Ispansi (¡Españoles!) és una pel·lícula espanyola de 2011 dirigida i coprotagonitzada per Carlos Iglesias en la seva segona pel·lícula com a director després d'Un franco, 14 pesetas i que fou estrenada al Festival de Cinema Iberoamericà de Huelva. Tracta sobre l'odissea dels nens de Rússia i pretén establir un "pont entre les dues Espanyes". Fou coproduïda per Canal Sur Televisión i fou rodada a Suïssa, Sevilla, Carmona i Dos Hermanas. Comptava amb un pressupost de més de 4 milions d'euros. Se'n va fer cert ressò quan fou detingut l'acadèmic i director de cinema Manuel Sirgo González acusat de penjar a Internet, abans de la seva estrena, còpies de pel·lícules que competien pels premis Goya, entre elles Ispansi.
