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

No Names on the Doors (Hebrew: אין שמות על הדלתות) is a 1997 Israeli drama directed by Nadav Levitan. The film was screened at the Berlin International Film Festival, the Montpellier Film Festival, the Shanghai International Film Festival, and the Melbourne International Film Festival. It received five nominations for an Ophir Award including Best Actor and Best Screenplay and Best Soundtrack. No Names on the Doors was shot entirely in Kibbutz Yakum and is the third film in director Levitan's trilogy about Israeli kibbutzim, following An Intimate Story (1981) and Stalin's Disciples (1986). Nahum Heiman composed the music. The piece for flute, "The Journey to Jerusalem," has been played for many years as the opening theme for morning broadcasts on Reshet Bet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
