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

«Школа изящных искусств. Пейзаж с можжевельником» — советский короткометражный мультипликационный фильм, снятый Андреем Хржановским в 1987 году. Над мультфильмом работал потомок Юло Соостера — Тенно-Пент Соостер. В 1990 году вышло продолжение — «Школа изящных искусств. Возвращение», а позже обе части были смонтированы в полнометражный фильм «Школа изящных искусств». Стихи и прозу читают Сергей Юрский, Алла Демидова и Эдуард Назаров. О художнике рассказывают Илья Кабаков, Тенно-Пент Соостер и М. Калле. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
