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

Anna is a 1970 Finnish movie co-written by Jörn Donner and Eija-Elina Bergholm, and directed by Donner, featuring Harriet Andersson, Pertti Melasniemi and Marja Packalén. It was filmed in Kustavi and Turku, Finland. There was controversy about the nudity in the film. It has been described as "perhaps [Donner's] most thoughtful film", and been listed among "the most important films made in Finland in the 1960s and 1970s". Both Finnish-language and Swedish-language versions were made of the film. In the Finnish version, Andersson's lines are voiced by Liisamaija Laaksonen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
