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

Lain mukaan on Roland af Hällströmin ohjaama suomalainen mustavalkoinen elokuva vuodelta 1956. Elokuva perustuu Minna Canthin kahteen novelliin, ”Lain mukaan” ja ”Kauppa-Lopo” (1889). Elokuva oli Hällströmin viimeinen ohjaus, sillä hän kuoli sydänkohtaukseen viimeisiä kohtauksia kuvattaessa. Esko Töyri viimeisteli elokuvan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
