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

«Синема́» — советский чёрно-белый художественный фильм 1977 года, снятый на киностудии «Грузия-фильм» режиссёром Лианой Элиавой. Фильм стал полнометражным дебютом режиссёра. Фильм рассказывает о молодом человеке, который на заре существования кино пытался создать в Грузии национальный кинематограф. В роли консультанта фильма выступил Василий Амашукели, пионер грузинского кино, кадры из фильма которого «Путешествие Акакия Церетели в Рача-Лечхуми» (1912) также вошли в картину. Фильм был показан в конкурсе Венецианского кинофестиваля 1979 года. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
