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

Panni sporchi è un documentario del 1980 diretto da Giuseppe Bertolucci che ha come sfondo la stazione Centrale di Milano e si articola in un mix di interviste e racconti intrecciati. Il filmato generò un profondo dibattito tra gli intellettuali del PCI, tant'è che vinse il primo premio al Festival dei popoli di Firenze. Il titolo richiama, apertamente, una frase di Giulio Andreotti, con la quale aveva definito alcuni film del cinema italiano del passato. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
