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

The Wolf House (Spanish: La casa lobo) is a 2018 Chilean adult animated horror film directed by Cristobal León & Joaquín Cociña (in their directorial debuts) and written by León, Cociña and Alejandra Moffat. Inspired by the actual case of Colonia Dignidad, The Wolf House is presented as a fairy-tale themed animated propaganda film produced by the leader of the sect in order to indoctrinate its followers. The film uses elements of avant-garde cinema, dark fantasy, psychological drama, surrealism, and supernatural horror. It had its world premiere at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival in the Forum section on February 22, 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
