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

Une femme disparaît est un film suisse réalisé en 1941 par Jacques Feyder, sorti en 1942 en Suisse et en 1946 en France. Il s'agit du dernier film du réalisateur français d'origine belge : il a été tourné en Suisse alors que la France était occupée, mais la production et les acteurs sont principalement français.
