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

Location Hunting in Palestine or Sopralluoghi in Palestina per il vangelo secondo Matteo is a 1965 Italian documentary film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Disappointed by the overly modern landscapes, Pasolini abandoned the idea of filming on the very sites where Christ lived. The film was ultimately shot in the Mezzogiorno (southern Italy).
