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

The Street Song or The Streetsweeper (German: Gassenhauer) is a 1931 German musical crime film directed by Lupu Pick and starring Ina Albrecht, Ernst Busch and Albert Hoermann. The film was shot at the Grunewald Studios. It is a Berlin-set film, with sets designed by art director Robert Neppach. It premiered at the Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz in the German capital. The film was a considerable public success and one of its songs, "Marie, Marie," by the Comedian Harmonists, became a hit record. A separate French-language version, Les Quatre Vagabonds with a different cast and music was also made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
