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

est un court métrage belge réalisé par Pascal Adant et sorti en 2013Catalogue du court. . Depuis deux ans, Vincent Van Gogh (Gaëtan Wenders) partage le quotidien difficile des mineurs du Borinage. Il s'exerce au dessin mais plonge un peu plus chaque jour dans la déprime. Après avoir rendu visite à son amie Laplèbe (Françoise Oriane), il réalise que, contrairement aux pontifes qui l'ont excommunié, la foule, elle, le plébiscite. Une graine de tournesol qu'il a semée par hasard se met à germer, et sa vocation de peintre devient pour lui une évidence. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
