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

"반도의 봄"은 이병일 감독의 1941년 흑백 영화이다. 이병일의 데뷔작으로, 당시 영화 제작자와 가수 즉 연예인을 모델로 해서 만든 영화라는 데에 흥미가 간다고 해 둘 만하다. 1941년 개봉된 명보영화사(明寶映畵社)의 작품으로, 김성민(金聖珉) 원작, 이병일(李炳逸) 각색·감독이었고, 배역은 김소영(金素英), 김일해(金一海), 서월영(徐月影), 윤정란(尹貞蘭) 등이 맡았다. 내용은 영화 제작자(김일해)와 무대 출신의 신인 배우(김소원)의 애절한 사랑을 그린 것으로, 통속적인 주제였다.
