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

Urtzen 2020ko Telmo Esnal zinema zuzendarien film dokumentala da. Pablo Azkueren Ur deituriko liburuan oinarrituta dago filma: ipuin bat da, eta, beste gauza askoren artean, kontzientzian eta itsasoan sakontzen du. Urtzen, berriz, ipuin horretan oinarrituta dagoen zinema entsegu bezala definitu dute: elkarrizketa ugari dituena, musika eta askotariko irudiak berrerabiltzen dituena, eta existentziaren inguruan hausnartzen duena. Funtsean, eta, sortzaileen hitzetan, aurrez aipaturiko guztiak biltzen dituen collage bitxi bat (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
