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

Ilustrate cu flori de cîmp este un film românesc din 1975, al cărui regizor și scenarist este Andrei Blaier. Film-comandă, în conjunctura politicii comuniste de control al natalității, Ilustrate cu flori de cîmp are o tentă educativă, fiind menit să releve riscurile mari pe care și le asuma o femeie atunci când apela la o întrerupere de sarcină improvizată, o problemă socială semnificativă în contextul eșecului Decretului anti-avort din perioada lui Ceaușescu.
