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

Scannán is ea The Irish Village. Rinneadh taifead air i mbaile an Chruacháin i gContae Chorcaí sa bhliain 1959. Ba é James Clark, stiúrthóir as an mBreatain, a stiúraigh é. Bhuaigh sé gradaim BAFTA agus Oscar ina dhiaidh sin. Cuireann sé síos ar an tsochaí agus saol sa cheantar sa bhliain 1959. Sa ghuthú deirtear nach bhfuil aon cheo speisialta faoin sráidbhaile ach go bhfuil sé ag dul i léig. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
