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

Sky Hook (Serbian: Nebeska udica, Небеска удица) is a 2000 Yugoslavian film directed by Ljubiša Samardžić. It was the first film to receive a pan-Yugoslav release following the collapse of the former Yugoslavia. It was Yugoslavia's submission to the 73rd Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
