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

Bigger than life er en dansk kortfilm fra 1982 instrueret af Vlado Oravsky. En pige i sine tidlige teenageår har feberhallucinationer og mener, at hun kun kan leve, så længe det sidste blad af rådhusvinen, der vokser på den modsatte facade, forbliver. Da det sidste blad blæser af en sen efterårsnat, beslutter hendes far, en maler, at male det direkte på facaden. Han falder fra højttrinnet og dør. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
