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

En el llindar (originalment en portuguès, Limiar) és una pel·lícula brasilera del 2020. Des d'un punt de vista autobiogràfic, la directora Coraci Ruiz segueix la transició de gènere del seu fill adolescent, en Noah. Entre els anys 2016 i 2019 l'entrevista abordant els conflictes, certeses i incerteses que impregnen la recerca de la identitat. Alhora, Coraci, criada des de petita en un entorn activista i feminista, també viu el seu propi procés de transformació. La cinta posa sobre la taula qüestions socials al voltant del gènere, el matrimoni, la política i el consentiment dels pares. En el llindar és el segon llargmetratge de Ruiz i va ser premiat al Hot Docs 2021. Es va subtitular però no doblar al català. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
