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

Number One is a 1973 Italian crime drama film directed by Gianni Buffardi and starring Renzo Montagnani, Luigi Pistilli, Claude Jade, Chris Avram, Guido Mannari and Massimo Serato. The film is loosely based on a real-life story detailing crime and drugs in the Rome underground. After the film quickly disappeared from public view in 1973 due to political censorship, it was restored in 2021 and had a theatrical re-release and world premiere on television.
