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

Hansel and Gretel (German: Hänsel und Gretel) is a 1954 West German family film directed by Fritz Genschow. It is based on the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. It should not be confused with the German film Hansel and Gretel, nor the American film Hansel and Gretel, both of which were released the same year. It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios in Berlin and on location in Lower Saxony. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
