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

Johanne Sacreblu is a 2025 Mexican comedy musical short film directed by filmmaker Camila Aurora and written by Héctor Guillén, created as a protest against the French film Emilia Pérez. The film premiered on YouTube in January 2025 and makes use of elements stereotypically associated with French culture, such as mimes, croissants, baguettes, and rats; it also features attire including berets, striped clothing, and thin mustaches, as a parody of the simplistic way in which director Jacques Audiard portrayed Mexican culture in Emilia Pérez.
