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

Virtaset ja Lahtiset on Jack Witikan ohjaama komedia vuodelta 1959. Se on ensimmäinen Suomessa kuvattu ja kehitetty kokoillan värielokuva (värimenetelmänään Eastmancolor; aikaisemmat oli prosessoitu ulkomailla). Leena Härmän näytelmään Virtaset ja Lahtiset (1957) perustuva elokuva on tapakomedia nousukasperheiden kilpailusta ja sukupolvien välisestä kuilusta. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
