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

Fragments d'une Palestine perdue è un film documentario del 2010 diretto da Norma Marcos. Per visitare la madre malata che vive in Palestina, Norma Marcos, nonostante il doppio passaporto palestinese e francese, deve affrontare infinite burocrazie prima di ottenere il visto dalle autorità israeliane. Quando ottiene il permesso, decide di realizzare un diario filmato per mostrare all'amico Stefan come persone normali cercano di vivere vite normali oltre l'occupazione. La regista, conversando con amici, familiari, sconosciuti, descrive l'accerchiamento di un popolo e frammenti di una Palestina che esiste e resiste al di là delle cronache di violenza e guerra.
