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

Women in Revolt is a 1971 American comedy-drama film directed by Paul Morrissey and produced by Andy Warhol. Starring Warhol superstars Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, and Holly Woodlawn, the film satirizes the women's liberation movement through the story of three women who form a radical feminist group called P.I.G. ("Politically Involved Girls"). Released in the aftermath of Valerie Solanas' 1968 shooting of Warhol, Women in Revolt has been interpreted as a response to radical feminism and Solanas' SCUM Manifesto. The film features soundtrack music by John Cale. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
