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

اتاق یک فیلمی به کارگردانی و نویسندگی رحیم رحیمی پور محصول سال ۱۳۶۵ است. سرهنگ ابراهيم علی اصغرلو، افسر چترباز، طی عملياتی در كردستان به دست اعضای «كومله» دستگير می شود. چند بار اقدام به فرار می كند، اما دستگير و به «اتاق يك»، كه ويژه نگهداری محكومان به اعدام است انتقال می يابد، چهار زندانی ديگر در اين اتاق نگهداری می شوند. ابتدا بين سرهنگ و دو مسئول ايدئولوژيك گروه مزبور بحث و جدل در می گيرد، اما بعد هر پنج نفر به هم نزديك می شوند و با نقشه ای كه سرهنگ طرح ريزی می كند؛ می گريزند.
