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.
How it feels
This short animated film uses painted glass images to tell a story blending history and music. It was seven years in the making with over 10,000 hand-painted frames.

What happens
MacPherson est un film québécois de court métrage réalisé par Martine Chartrand, utilisant la technique de peinture sur verre et sorti en 2012. Ce film s'inscrit dans la continuité d’Âme noire/Black Soul, tant sur le plan thématique que sur le plan technique, puisant dans l’Histoire et la diversité musicale pour faire éclore une poésie métissée et évocatrice. Ce court métrage est le fruit d'un travail de 7 ans ayant exigé l'exécution de plus de 10 000 images. Il a été présenté en première mondiale en ouverture du Festival des films du monde de Montréal.
