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

Luk královny Dorotky je povídkový film podle stejnojmenné literární předlohy Vladislava Vančury. Pro svůj film si režisér Jan Schmidt vybral tři povídky, pojednávající o malých a velkých zradách a záludnostech lásky, odehrávající se v různém čase, na různých místech. Snímek podle vlastního scénáře natočil v roce 1970. V hlavní trojroli se objevila Jana Brejchová. Film nepřístupný pro mládež měl slavnostní premiéru 18. února 1971 v pražském kině 64 U Hradeb. Celostátně byl promítán od 26. února 1971. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
