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

Bwana Kitoko (Noble Seigneur) est un film documentaire belge réalisé en 1955 par le réalisateur André Cauvin. C'est le reportage sur le premier voyage du jeune Roi Baudouin dans un Congo spontané et enthousiaste. Un périple de 10 000 kilomètres, sur des images exaltant aussi les charmes d'une colonie perdue[pourquoi ?]. La musique est de Jean Absil. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
