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

Os Ancares: A serra esquecida é un documental galego de 2012 dirixido por Enrique Rodríguez e producido por Formato Producciones para a Televisión de Galicia. En 1968 o xornalista Enrique de Arce Temes realizou unha reportaxe para El Ideal Gallego sobre a situación dos habitantes da serra dos Ancares, que vivían completamente illados nunhas condicións máis propias da Idade Media que do século XX. A crónica daquela expedición e dos anos posteriores quedou recollida no libro Os Ancares: A serra esquecida (2010). O documental relata os acontecementos descritos no libro, contando co testemuño dos protagonistas daquela expedición e dos veciños que habitaron nos Ancares durante aqueles anos.
