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

Shirins Hochzeit ist einer der ersten aus türkischer Sicht erzählten deutschen Spielfilme. Das 1975 für das Fernsehen produzierte kontroverse Drama stammt von der Filmemacherin Helma Sanders-Brahms (die damals noch unter dem Namen Helma Sanders in Erscheinung trat). Sie gab 1980 an, der im Stab als Schauspieler geführte Schriftsteller Aras Ören habe einen großen Anteil an der Entstehung des Films gehabt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
