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

«Мост» — советский военный фильм августа 1942 года, снятый на Тбилисской киностудии режиссёрами Шотой Манагадзе и Константином Пипинашвили по пьесе «Батальон идёт на Запад» Шоты Манагадзе, военный консультант фильма — военный комендант Тбилиси полковник И. О. Размадзе. Кинорежиссёры постарались отойти от шаблонной зарисовки военных событий — как в газетах и агитационных фильмах — и показать героизм советских людей более глубоко и драматично.
