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

Canastra Suja is a Brazilian drama feature film. Directed, written and produced by Caio Sóh, it was released theatrically on 21 June 2018. In August of the same year, the movie was among the 22 candidates to represent Brazil at the competition for the 2019 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but the Special Commission of Selection (consisting of Bárbara Paz, Lucy Barreto, Jorge Peregrino, Flávio Ramos Tambellini, Jeferson De, João Jardim and Hsu Chien) ended up electing The Great Mystical Circus.
