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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Alef (Unsilenced) es una miniserie de televisión israelí creada por Avraham Shalom Levi, Tamar Marom, Moish Goldberg y Einat Zilber Damari, con Odelia Karmon como cocreadora. La serie de ficción, de seis episodios, está basada en el libro de Karmon The Confidante (2013) y está inspirada en la condena por violación en 2011 al entonces presidente del país, Moshe Katsav y explora las dificultades de las mujeres para probar una violación.​​ Los guiones son de Avraham Shalom Levi y Tamar Marom, dirigida por Moish Goldberg y producida por Great Productions y Yes TV.​ La serie se llama Alef por ser la primera letra en el alfabeto hebreo, inicial de la primera víctima que acudió a la policía.​ La miniserie se desarrolla en una temporada con seis episodios​ en los que están presentes los mecanismos de la violencia machista: mezcla de piropos y amenazas, promesas de ascenso con castigos, y disculpas con propósitos de enmienda.​ En cada capítulo se desarrolla un punto de vista relacionado con la historia: dos víctimas, el presidente, su esposa, el asesor del presidente y el último capítulo es colectivo analizando la perspectiva de varias mujeres.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
