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.

How it feels

What happens

Oi, aika vanha, kultainen...! on Orvo Saarikiven ohjaama elokuva vuodelta 1942. Elokuva pohjautuu Matti Hällin romaaniin Oi aika sä entinen, joka ilmestyi kuitenkin vasta 1942. Sotien välillä kuvattu elokuva pääsi ensi-iltaan vasta jatkosodan ollessa meneillään. Mukana on dokumenttikuvaa vuoden 1941 vapunvietosta. Saarikivi piti sitä parhaana elokuvanaan, mutta yleisömenestys jäi heikohkoksi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
