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

Briser le code est un film documentaire québécois réalisé par Nicolas Houde-Sauvé et produit par Marie-Pierre Corriveau et Pierre Dubois, sorti le 29 janvier 2020. Sur les thèmes du reniement identitaire, de la glottophobie, des dynamiques de pouvoir entre majorité-minorité, du racisme systémique, de l'alternance codique et des microagressions, ce documentaire se porte sur les vécus des personnes non blanches au Québec et le code, c'est-à-dire les attitudes, gestes et comportements que celles-ci doivent adopter pour se fondre dans la majorité blanche franco-québécoise sans déranger.
