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

I Lost Sight of the Landscape (French: J'ai perdu de vue le paysage) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Sophie Bédard Marcotte and released in 2025. Initially conceived as a documentary about the creative process of playwright and theatre director Gabriel Charlebois Plante as he embarks on the creation of his 2024 play Cette colline n’est jamais vraiment silencieuse, the film evolves into a more personal revelation as Bédard Marcotte and Charlebois Plante fall in love and become a couple. The film premiered in April 2025 at Visions du Réel. It was later screened at the Montreal International Documentary Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
