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

Vincent and Me (French-language title: Vincent et moi) is a 1990 French Canadian fantasy film. The movie was directed by Michael Rubbo and is the 11th in the Tales for All (Contes Pour Tous) series of children's movies created by Les Productions la FĂȘte. Jeanne Calment appeared as herself, aged 114, the oldest person to ever appear in a motion picture, a fact that gained her a placing in Guinness World Records. Calment claimed to have met Vincent van Gogh ca. 1888 when she was 12 or 13. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
