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.

Tangana, real name Antón Álvarez Alfaro. The music was written by Álvarez himself and his common collaborators: Alizzz, Pablopablo, alongside Harto Rodríguez. The lyrics were also written by C. Tangana, Pablo Drexler, Alizzz, Xosé Lois Romero, Xisco Feijoó, Quico Comesaña, and Keltoi! (a local band from Vigo) vocalist Sime. It was performed by Casablanca Choir, As Lagharteiras, Lilaina, Cantó, Drexler and Quirante. C. Tangana wrote the lyrics in Galician even though he is not fluent in the language. The music video for the song, directed by C. Tangana and produced by his company, Little Spain, received three Gold Cannes Lions at the 2024 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. It has also been nominated for Best Short Form Music Video at the 25th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
