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

Wiatr ze wschodu (ros. Ветер с востока, Wietier s wostoka) – radziecki dramat filmowy z 1940 roku w reżyserii Abrama Rooma. Obraz ma charakter propagandowy; powstał, by przekonywać do zasadności inwazji ZSRR na terytorium II Rzeczypospolitej 17 września 1939 roku. Zasadność tę upatrywał w potrzebie ochrony ludności zachodniej Ukrainy i zachodniej Białorusi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
