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.

Tampuhan è un film del 1941 diretto e sceneggiato da Lorenzo P. Tuells, con protagonisti Rogelio de la Rosa e Carmen Rosales. Annoverato tra le più celebri pellicole filippine dell'era prebellica, fu a lungo l'ultimo film del sodalizio cinematografico Rosales-de la Rosa – protagonista nel biennio 1940-41 di altre produzioni quali Señorita, Lambingan, Diwa ng awit, Colegiala e Panambitan – prima del suo ritorno avvenuto nel 1954 con Maalaala mo kaya?.
