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

Piccoli naufraghi (The Little Adventurers) is a 1939 Italian adventure film directed by Flavio Calzavara. It featured thirteen child actors making their screen debuts and is regarded as one of the very few films for children made in Italian cinema during the 1930s. The film reflects the climate of propaganda surrounding the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
