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

J'veux du soleil (également typographié J'veux du soleil !) est un film documentaire français réalisé par Gilles Perret et François Ruffin, sorti en 2019. Construit comme un road movie, il retrace le voyage des deux réalisateurs du Nord au Sud de la France à la rencontre des Gilets jaunes mobilisés au bord des routes du pays en décembre 2018. Après Les Jours heureux (2013), La Sociale (2016) ou encore L'Insoumis (2018) réalisés par Gilles Perret, et Merci Patron ! (2016) réalisé par François Ruffin, J'veux du soleil est le premier projet commun entre les deux amis, qui se connaissent depuis une quinzaine d'années. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
