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

Sati Savitri is a 1933 Indian Telugu-language but silent film directed by H. M. Reddy and produced under the Bharath Movie Tone banner. Released on 4 February 1933, the film stars V. V. Subba Rao, Kanthamani Kanya, K. L. Kantham, and L. V. Prasad. Produced in Bombay, Sati Savitri faced competition from another film of the same name, directed by C. Pullayya and produced by East India Film Company in Calcutta. While Pullayya's version was a major success, H. M. Reddy's film did not perform well at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
