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

«Варежки» — советский короткометражный художественный фильм о дружбе людей тыла и фронта в годы Великой Отечественной войны. Фильм снят кинематографистами Ленинграда весной 1942 года — единственный художественный фильм, снятый во время Блокады. «Ленфильм» был эвакуирован в Алма-Ату в 1941 году. Следующий художественный фильм был снят уже после снятия Блокады — в 1944 году: «Морской батальон». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
