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

The Bed Sausage (German: Die Bettwurst) is a 1971 West German camp film directed by Rosa von Praunheim. It became a cult film and was followed in 1975 by the sequel Berlin Bed Sausage. The film was also shown in other European countries, but was never officially released in the United States. Nevertheless, it was occasionally shown at American art film festivals and in US art-house cinemas. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
