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

«Вьетнам» (вьет. Việt Nam) — первый совместный советско-вьетнамский художественно-документальный фильм режиссёра Романа Кармена. Снят на цветную пленку. В северном и объединённом Вьетнаме до 2004 года демонстрировалась только черно-белая копия этого фильма под названием «Вьетнам на пути к победе» (вьет. Việt Nam trên đường thắng lợi). Из материала, отснятого в Ханое на параде Победы 1 января 1955 года, был смонтирован отдельный документальный фильм на вьетнамском языке «Исторический день» (Ngày lịch sử) (1955). Цветная версия фильма «Вьетнам» впервые была показана по вьетнамскому телевидению в 2004 году по случаю 50-летней годовщины со дня победы под Дьенбьенфу. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
