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

Notre-Dame-de-l'Arsenic est un moyen métrage québécois réalisé par Christian Mathieu Fournier et Martin Frigon. À travers les yeux d’ex-travailleurs, de militants, de médecins, de mères et de pères, les portes de la ville s’ouvrent l’une après l’autre. Lancés dans une quête pour découvrir ce qui a permis à la multinationale Glencore de faire pleuvoir de telles quantités d’arsenic, de plomb et de cadmium sur la ville de leur enfance, ils se questionnent sur leur avenir.Ces familles se livrent au cours de ce long métrage, de leurs sentiments et leurs doutes envers leurs enfants, le futur de la ville et de leur quartier. Ces familles sont au coeur des émissions et ils sont touchés directement. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
