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

Sangtye Aika (transl. Listen, I'll Tell You) is an Indian Marathi-language drama film directed and produced by Anant Mane, from a screenplay by Vyankatesh Madgulkar, and featuring Jayshree Gadkar, Dada Salvi, Chandrakant, Suryakant, Hansa Wadkar, Sulochana Latkar and Vasant Shinde. The film was a huge commercial hit, and ran for over 131 weeks in Pune's Vijayanand Theatre and screened for almost two years across cities in Maharashtra, a record that was later broken by the Hindi film Sholay. It served as the inspiration for Wadkar's 1970 autobiography of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
