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

Soviet, en avant ! (Шагай, Совет!, Shagay, Sovet!) est un film soviétique réalisé par Dziga Vertov en 1926. Il est considéré comme le premier vrai film de propagande commandé par le Kremlin en vue de montrer les travaux du Mossoviet de la capitale mais son réalisateur préféra filmer le quotidien des travailleurs sous les directives du Parti Communiste.
