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

El quart regne. El regne dels plàstics (títol original en castellà: El cuarto reino. El reino de los plásticos) és una pel·lícula documental espanyola del 2019 dirigida per Àlex Lora i Cercós i Adán Aliaga i produït per Jaibo Films, Àlex Lora i Isa Feliu. Es van recollir 400 hores de gravació durant tres anys sense un guió clarament establert. La denúncia ecològica és implícita, tot i que no aspira a retratar la dimensió del desastre, sinó que ofereix un inusual retrat paisatgístic i humà d'un espai. Els subtítols de l'obra foren traduïts al català. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
