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.

How it feels

What happens

Pod soncem (srbohrvaško Nizvodno od Sunca) je jugoslovanski dramski film iz leta 1969, ki ga je režiral Fedor Škubonja po scenariju soproge Stanislave Borisavljević. V glavnih vlogah nastopajo Dragomir Bojanić Gidra, Dina Rutić in Aleksandar Gavrić. Zgodba prikazuje mlado in neizkušeno učiteljico (Rutić), ki prvič poučuje v odmaknjeni gorski vasici brez šolskega poslopja. Kmečko življenje, spor med dvema klanoma ter spor med vlado in kmeti zaradi sečnje v državnih gozdovih za potrebe gradnje šole pripeljejo do velikih sporov in tragedije. Film je bil premierno prikazan leta 1969 v jugoslovanskih kinematografih in je naletel na dobre ocene kritikov. Na Puljskem filmskem festivalu je osvojil glavno nagrado velika zlata arena za najboljši jugoslovanski film, ob tem pa še nagradi najboljši scenarij (Borisavljević) in režijo (Škubonja).
