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

«Посре́дник» — советский фантастический телефильм 1990 года по мотивам повести Александра Мирера «Главный полдень». Сам Мирер критиковал режиссёра Владимира Потапова за то, что картина построена вопреки логике текста, однако свою фамилию с титров не снял. Фильм снят в подчёркнуто серо-коричневых, мрачных тонах (сепия). Под некоторыми фантастическими деталями зритель может угадать реальные социальные явления. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
