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

Yo decido. El tren de la libertad (littéralement, «Je décide. Le train de la liberté») est un documentaire espagnol collectif auquel participent 80 cinéastes en 2014. Le film se centre dans une protestation massive contre la réforme de la loi de l'avortement présentée par le ministre Ruíz-Gallardón et le Parti Populaire. Le mouvement social est appelé Le train de la liberté, à la suite du manifeste Porque yo decido écrit par la philosophe Alicia Miyares. Parmi les cinéastes qui créent le Collectif de femmes cinéastes contre la réforme de la loi de l'avortement se retrouvent Icíar Bollaín, Isabel Coixet, Ángeles González-Sinde ou encore Esther García, productrice de la société El Deseo. La première du film a lieu de façon simultanée dans 90 villes espagnoles, avant une présentation dans plusieurs festivals internationaux comme le Festival International de Cinéma de Saint-Sébastien.
