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

Pêcheur d’Islande est un film français réalisé par Pierre Schoendoerffer, sorti en 1959. Ce n’est pas une adaptation du roman de Pierre Loti, dont l’histoire se passe entièrement à terre, en Bretagne ; il n’en partage que le titre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
