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.

How it feels

In a busy bar, the camera quietly watches customers and their conversations. It builds a funny and absurd picture of human nature through small moments.

What happens

Triple Sec est un court-métrage français réalisé par Yves Thomas, sorti en 1986. Dans une grande brasserie, la caméra, par petites touches, cerne quelques consommateurs et, de visages en visages, de conversations en conversations, ébauche un tableau drôle, caustique, absurde de la nature humaine.
