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

Sri Datta Darsanam is a 1985 Telugu-language biographical film directed by Kamalakara Kameswara Rao. The story is based on the life of Hindu deity Dattatreya. The story of Dattatreya was shown earlier in Sati Anasuya as a part of the Anasuya story. However this film completely picturized this Hindu religious persons life details completely, for the time in any Indian film. The film was dubbed into Hindi as Shri Datta Darshan in 1988.
