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.

«Катафалк» — дебютный фильм Валерия Тодоровского, снятый в 1990 году по мотивам рассказа писательницы Фланнери О’Коннор «Береги чужую жизнь — спасёшь свою». Картина, которая рассматривалась кинокритиками как ученическое упражнение молодого режиссёра, получила ряд призов и наград, в том числе Гран-при на Международном кинофестивале в Мангейме.
