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

Keby som mal pušku je celovečerní hraný film režiséra Štěpána Uhra z roku 1971. Je natočený podle stejnojmenné literární předlohy slovenského prozaika a scenáristy Milana Ferka. Námět původně psal Ferko spolu s režisérem Elem Havettou, kterému ale kvůli normalizačním tlakům nebylo dovoleno natáčet, proto Studio hraných filmů nabídlo téma Uhrovi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
