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

Walt Disney e l'Italia - Una storia d'amore è un film documentario del 2014 diretto da Marco Spagnoli. La pellicola nasce per accompagnare nelle sale il film Saving Mr. Banks e coglie l'occasione per descrivere le piacevoli relazioni fra Walt Disney ed il Bel Paese attraverso diversi personaggi accomunati tra loro da una sconfinata passione per i fumetti del famoso disegnatore americano. Il film illustra come intere generazioni di italiani, di cultura ed educazione completamente differente perdano ogni diversità di fronte all'amore per i fumetti di Walt Disney. Il documentario illustra il forte, ma poco noto rapporto che c'è stato tra Walt Disney e l'Italia, tra fumettisti, sceneggiatori e registi, primo fra tutti Federico Fellini.
