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

Grand Tour is a 2024 historical drama film co-written and directed by Miguel Gomes, starring Gonçalo Waddington and Crista Alfaiate. Gomes has stated the movie was inspired by a passage from the W. Somerset Maugham book The Gentleman in the Parlour. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 77th Cannes Film Festival, on 22 May 2024, where Gomes won the Best Director award. In September 2024, it was selected as the Portuguese entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, but was not nominated. It was theatrically released in Portugal on 19 September 2024, by Um Pedra no Sapato. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
