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

A Falfúró 1985-ben forgatott, majd 1986-ban bemutatott magyar filmszatíra. Rendezője Szomjas György. A Kádár-korszak végén forgatott film látnok alkotás: az 1985-ös szocializmust felidézve mesél a tulajdonképpeni jelenről: a lakótelepek életéről, illetve arról a jellegzetes magyar virtusról, amely az ügyeskedés és a kiskapuk keresésében merül ki. A lakótelepi jeleneteket a Zuglóban található Füredi utcai lakótelepen, a kőbányai Gyakorló utcában, Újpalotán és Újpesten forgatták. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
