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

Únos je československé filmové drama z roku 1952. Podle vlastního scénáře, na kterém spolupracovali s Františkem Břetislavem Kuncem ho natočili Ján Kadár a Elmar Klos. Šlo o první snímek autorské dvojice Kádár-Klos, která společně vytvořila osm filmů, včetně oskarového Obchodu na korze. Pro Elmara Klose se jednalo o jeho režisérský debut. Inspirací ke vzniku snímku byl koordinovaný únos tří letadel Douglas DC-3 z Československa do americké okupační zóny Německa z března 1950. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
