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

L'últim partit. 40 anys de Johan Cruyff a Catalunya és un documental del 2014 dirigit per Jordi Marcos i produït per Bonita Films que narra la influència esportiva, social i cultural que ha significat el fitxatge del futbolista neerlandès Johan Cruyff per part del Futbol Club Barcelona, el 13 d'agost de 1973. El documental explica els perquès, a partir del món del futbol, d'un canvi en la societat catalana amb l'arribada de la figura de Johan Cruyff, de la derrota a la victòria. Com va canviar una imatge derrotista, que el Barça es va forjar durant la dictadura franquista, i el va ajudar a passar a ser un club guanyador i respectat. Un canvi de mentalitat al qual va contribuir la seva forma d'entendre l'esport i la vida: «Si vols fer una cosa, fes-la». El film inclou imatges d'arxiu del neerlandès quan encara era jugador.
