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

Las maravillosas curas del Doctor Asuero (euskaraz: «Asuero Doktorearen sendaketa miragarriak») 1929an Nemesio Manuel Sobrevila bilbotar zinema zuzendariaren zinema mutuko dokumental bat da. Filma Donostian egin zen, 1929ko maiatzean, baina bere garaian debekatua izan zen eta urte asko igaro behar izan ziren lehen aldiz pantailaratzeko. Debekuaren arrazoia Asuero doktorearen kontsultara joateko bil zitekeen jendetza izan zen, dokumentalak Donostiako Fernando Asuero medikuak egiten zituen sendaketa harrigarriak azaltzen baitzituen. Dena dela, ez dago oso garbi, zeren eta debekatzeko agindua Asuerok berak eskatu baitzuen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
