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

Amor Maldito é um filme brasileiro de 1984, dirigido por Adélia Sampaio. É o primeiro longa-metragem dirigido por uma mulher negra na história do cinema brasileiro. Por causa do seu tema polêmico, foi rejeitado pela Embrafilme e pelo circuito exibidor. Entrou em cartaz em apenas oito cinemas de São Paulo, e ainda assim foi preciso que a cineasta aceitasse lançá-lo como uma pornochanchada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
