The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in.

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
April (Italian: Aprile) is a 1998 Italian semi-autobiographical film written and directed by Nanni Moretti. Moretti also plays the central character, a filmmaker who has to deal with Italy's political situation, his own goals as an artist and becoming a father. The French director Claire Denis described the film thus, "He wants to make a musical comedy but he can't get started. So instead he talks about his life, his new baby, his desires and fears. Finally in the very last scene he begins." Moretti's wife, son and mother appear as themselves. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
