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

Eau vive est un film français de moyen métrage réalisé par Jean Epstein, sorti en 1939. Les habitants d'un village ont l'intention de vendre leurs maisons et leurs terres en raison de la faiblesse des ressources dont ils disposent. Le passage d'une jeune automobiliste à laquelle ils viennent en aide est l'occasion pour eux de prendre conscience de l'intérêt que présente l'utilisation de l'eau pour assurer le développement de la localité.
