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.

How it feels

This Italian film adapts Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth using Verdi's opera music and black and white imagery. It blends cinema, opera, and theater. A woman plays Macbeth to give the character an androgynous quality.

What happens

Macbeth Neo Film Opera è un film italiano del 2017 diretto da Daniele Campea. Tratto dalla tragedia di William Shakespeare, con musiche di Giuseppe Verdi e girato in bianco e nero, il film è una simbiosi tra cinema, opera e teatro. Si tratta del primo caso nella storia del cinema in cui Macbeth è interpretato da una donna invece che da un uomo, ingaggiata allo scopo di conferire al personaggio caratteristiche androgine peculiari.
