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

Był jazz – film polski z 1981 w reżyserii Feliksa Falka. Z powodu stanu wojennego film stał się tzw. półkownikiem – jego premiera opóźniła się o 3 lata. Scenariusz powstał na podstawie historii łódzkiego zespołu jazzowego Melomani, działającego w latach 1947–1958. Przedstawia losy kilku osób zafascynowanych muzyką jazzową. Fragmenty filmu zostały wykorzystane jako sample w utworze Theme From Behind the Curtain na debiutanckiej płycie zespołu zatytułowanej Skalpel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
