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

Masseba is a Czech science fiction film directed by Miloš Zábranský. It is a parable set in a post-apocalyptic world. The film was created towards the end of the communist regime, but it was not shown in cinemas until after the Velvet Revolution, which ultimately damaged the film. It was the first Czechoslovak film that used Dolby Stereo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
