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

Face au vide (titre anglais : Facing the Void) est un film documentaire français réalisé en 2020 par Marc Brulard. Il met en lumière l'alpinisme amateur, ses pratiquants et leurs motivations. Ce film aborde également la question du risque en montagne, au travers d'une présentation du métier de secouriste en montagne. Il témoigne enfin de la féminisation croissante des sports de montagne et en particulier de l'alpinisme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
