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 Crew (French: L'Équipage) is a 1935 French war drama film directed by Anatole Litvak and starring Annabella, Charles Vanel, Jean Murat and Jean-Pierre Aumont. It was shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris and on location at an airfield in Mourmelon-le-Petit. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Lucien Aguettand and Lucien Carré. It is also known by the alternative title Flight Into Darkness. The film is based on the 1923 novel of the same title by Joseph Kessel, which had previously been made into a 1928 French silent film The Crew. Litvak remade his own film as The Woman I Love for his first Hollywood production in 1937. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
