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

Jäinen saari on Erik Häkkisen ohjaama suomalainen draamaelokuva vuodelta 1964. Elokuva perustuu Mika Waltarin novelliin Jäinen saari, joka on julkaistu kokoelmassa Kuun maisema (1953). Elokuvan yleisömenestys oli varsin heikko, ja se jäi Häkkisen viimeiseksi pitkän näytelmäelokuvan ohjaustyöksi. Elokuvassa keuhkotautia sairastava opiskelijatyttö menee erakoituneen taiteilijan luokse tehdäkseen hänestä tutkimusta. Jonkin ajan kuluttua heidän välilleen syntyy rakkaussuhde.
