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

A Star Fell from Heaven (German: Ein Stern fällt vom Himmel) is a 1934 Austrian musical film directed by Max Neufeld and starring Joseph Schmidt, Egon von Jordan and Herbert Hübner. It was shot at the Sievering Studios in Vienna. Two years later it was remade in Britain with Schmidt reprising his role. A later German-language film A Star Fell from Heaven, released in 1961, was unconnected to the earlier productions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
