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

Un Togolais sur la Lune, est un film documentaire togolais de 35 minutes 38 secondes réalisé par Rémi Jennequin en 2012 qui parle du rêve d'un adolescent de 13 ans qui veut devenir un astronaute. Le réalisateur fait de cette idée de devenir astronaute le terreau fertile d’un croisement de regard à deux caméras : la leur et la sienne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
