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

Paris qui ne dort pas est un court métrage français réalisé par François Reichenbach, sorti en 1954. Par un petit matin d’hiver, en longeant les bords de Seine au cœur de la cité, des pêcheurs sont affairés et des amoureux occupent les bancs publics. La ville de Paris s’éveille, les cafetiers installent leurs terrasses et les Parisiens lisent le journal. On se presse pour aller au travail ou pour acheter sa baguette ou faire ses courses au marché. Mais il y a également le Paris des touristes qui flânent dans les jardins ou à Montmartre. Le soir arrive, dans la ville lumière brillent encore plus fort les néons et les lampions d’une fête foraine. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
