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

Viiva vinita – tavallisen ihmisen museo on Timo Linnasalon ohjaama suomalainen draamaelokuva vuodelta 1991. Elokuva perustuu Ilpo Tuomarilan samannimiseen näytelmään, joka kantaesitettiin Helsingin kaupunginteatterissa vuonna 1988. Sen tausta-aineistona on J. P. Roosin tekemä tutkimus suomalaisten ihmisten omaelämäkerroista. Elokuvassa Lotta menee syömään ravintolaan ja kertoo monologin muodossa elämästään ja perheestään. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
