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

Fuoco! è un film del 1968 diretto da Gian Vittorio Baldi. Il film fu presentato alla 29ª Mostra del cinema di Venezia. Un folto gruppo di intellettuali italiani firmò un telegramma di protesta che fu inviato al Ministero del Turismo e dello Spettacolo per protestare contro la mancata assegnazione al film del Premio di Qualità. Pier Paolo Pasolini ne inviò uno anche a titolo personale. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
