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

The Dog Who Loved Trains (Serbo-Croatian: Pas koji je voleo vozove, Serbian Cyrillic: Пас који је волео возове), is a 1977 Yugoslav film directed by Goran Paskaljević. The film was nominated for the Golden Bear award at the 28th Berlin International Film Festival in 1978. The plot revolves around three completely different people - a girl who escapes from prison, a former movie stuntman who imitates Western scenes in the province, and a young man who believes in friendship and love. They meet and part ways in search of their own imagined worlds. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
