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

Diamante Bruto é o título do filme brasileiro de 1977, dirigido por Orlando Senna e estrelado por José Wilker e Conceição Senna, ambientado na cidade de Lençóis, Chapada Diamantina, na Bahia. A obra foi o quarto filme do diretor, mas o primeiro que fora liberado para exibição pela censura vigente durante a ditadura militar. Além dos atores a população de Lençóis também atuou na obra, que tinha muitas vezes configuração de documentário. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
