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

Fürchte dich nicht, Jakob! ist ein 1981 in Deutschland produziertes Antisemitismus-Filmdrama von Radu Gabrea nach der Novelle „O făclie de Paște“ (1899; deutscher Titel: „Eine Osterkerze“) des rumänischen Dramatikers Ion Luca Caragiale. Die Adaptation nahm Frieder Schuller vor, der im Film in der Rolle des Totengräbers zu sehen ist. Mit dem Film gab Gabrea nach seiner Emigration aus Rumänien 1974 in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland sein Regiedebüt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
