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

Os Lobos é um filme mudo português de ficção e drama, com intertítulos, realizado por Rino Lupo em 1923. Tomando como base a obra teatral "Os Lobos: Tragédia Rústica em Três Actos" (1920) de Francisco Lage e João Corréa d'Oliveira, a longa-metragem tornou-se num dos maiores sucessos cinematográficos portugueses da década de 1920, chegando a ter difusão internacional e ser apontada como uma das principais influências para o estilo cinematográfico e a narrativa poética da "escola de cinema portuguesa" durante as décadas seguintes.
