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.

How it feels

This film is a collage about the lives of young people in Tehran. It shows their feelings of suspension, exhaustion, and loneliness in the midst of daily noise. It also links these personal struggles to the predicted 2012 end of the world as a backdrop.
