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.

How it feels

A group of young friends in a small Italian town grow up through the 1970s and 1980s, bonded by music and a local radio station. The story follows their lives, loves, and losses as they face the passage of time.

What happens

Radiofreccia, released in 1998, is the first movie directed by Italian rock singer-songwriter Luciano Ligabue, based on his 1997 debut novel Fuori e dentro il Borgo. It features the singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini (with whom Ligabue also collaborated for a song) in a small role. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
