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.

How it feels

This French documentary looks at the decade of the 1920s and the period between the two world wars. It shows the culture and events of that time. The film and a book with the same name helped popularize the term 'Années Folles' for that era.

What happens

Les Années folles est un documentaire français réalisé par Henri Torrent et Miréa Alexandresco sorti en 1960. La sortie du documentaire et d'un livre au titre identique créé une confusion entrainant l'appellation "Années Folles" pour les années 20 puis pour l'entre-deux-guerres en général.
