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

Sarah è un cortometraggio del 1981, scritto e diretto da Spike Lee. È stato girato in 16 mm e narra di una disastrosa riunione di una famiglia di Harlem, per il giorno del Ringraziamento. Il corto è stato dedicato da Spike Lee alla nonna materna, Zimmie Shelton. Nei titoli di testa c'è una breve sequenza dove si vede un uomo che conduce un mulo e cammina stancamente. Sopra l'immagine compare il nome di una casa di produzione: la 40 Acres & a Mule Filmworks, che sarà fondata da Spike Lee nel 1984. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
