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

The Girl (Serbo-Croatian: Devojka, Serbian Cyrillic: Девојка) is a 1965 Yugoslav film written and directed by Serbian director Puriša Đorđević. It is the first instance of events from the Second World War and the immediate post-war period being shown via unconventional art film techniques in Yugoslavia. It is the first entry in Đorđević's wartime tetralogy, the other three being The Dream (1966), The Morning (1967) and Noon (1968). The film belongs to the Yugoslav Black Wave movement.
