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

A ghostly white lady from a castle painting steps into the real world to fix social and economic problems in 1960s rural Czechoslovakia. The film uses her antics to poke fun at everyday life, but it was banned during the normalization period for its satire.

What happens

Bílá paní je černobílý film režiséra Zdeňka Podskalského z roku 1965. Jeho námětem se stala povídka Karla Michala Jak Pupenec k štěstí přišel ze sbírky Bubáci pro všední den (1961). Vypráví o bílé paní z hradu u vesnice Komonice, která začala vystupovat z obrazu, aby napravila nedostatky hospodářství a společnosti 60. let 20. století. Kvůli své satirické kritice bylo během normalizace zakázáno film promítat. Postavu bílé paní zde ztvárnila česká herečka Irena Kačírková. Film byl natočen ve městě Blatná na Strakonicku a na blatenském zámku. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
