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

"Stereo" on Eesti film aastast 1978. Film on valminud Riho Mesilase jutustuse "Veterinaari esimene nädal" järgi Viljandi Näidissovhoosis Heimtali ja Savikoti osakondades. Film on tehtud veterinaari raske töö ja elu probleemidest ja nende austuseks. Tänaseks Eesti ühe parema filmirežissööri Peeter Simmi esimesi katsetusi, kuigi algselt oli lavastajatöö plaanitud anda Olav Neulandile. Filmi näitamine keelati pärast selle valmimist ja pääses esmakordselt ekraanile alles 1991. aastal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
