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

Straža na Drini (Watch on the Drina) is a 1942 documentary and fascist propaganda war film directed by Branko Marjanović. The film was edited from the episodes of the weekly Ustasha newsreel. Along with the number of other films, it received a bronze diploma at the 1942 Venice Film Festival, attended only by the Axis countries (and later mostly not taken into consideration, because it even did not take place in Venice).
