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

Animal est un documentaire français réalisé par Cyril Dion, sorti en 2021. Bella et Vipulan ont 16 ans, une génération persuadée que leur avenir est menacé. Changement climatique, sixième extinction de masse des espèces... d'ici à 50 ans leur monde pourrait devenir inhabitable. Ils ont beau alerter, mais rien ne change vraiment. Alors, ils décident de remonter à la source du problème : notre relation au monde vivant. Tout au long d'un extraordinaire voyage, ils vont comprendre que nous sommes profondément liés à toutes les autres espèces. Et qu'en les sauvant, nous nous sauverons aussi. L’être humain a cru qu’il pouvait se séparer de la nature, mais il est la nature. Il est, lui aussi, un animal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
