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

Vittorio De Seta (15 October 1923 – 28 November 2011) was an Italian filmmaker. Considered one of Italy's great imaginative realists of the 1960s, his films usually documented the country's everyday life. He is most known for his Banditi a Orgosolo (1961), which incorporated the Italian neorealism with his previous documentary filmmaking background. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
