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

Latas vacías, also known as Empty Cans, is a 2014 Paraguayan drama film co-written and directed by Hérib Godoy in his directorial debut. An early version of the film premiered on 10 October 2013 during the International Film Festival in Asunción and this rough cut won the Premio del Centro Cultural de la República El Cabildo, which came with a financial prize that allowed Godoy to complete his filming.
