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

Slow Days (Croatian: Ajde, dan... prođi...) is a 2006 black and white Croatian indie film. Set in the Croatian capital Zagreb and its satellite town, Velika Gorica, it follows the lives of over twenty individuals. It was directed, written, and edited over a period of three years by the young Matija Kluković and starred, among others, Višnja Pešić, Filip Šuster, Marija Kohn, Petra Težak, and Nina Benović. In Croatia, the film received critical acclaim for its independent style of film-making, terrific cast of non-actors combined with professional actors, and black and white cinematography by Bojana Burnać, the first female cinematographer in Croatian film history. It won the Golden Pram award at Zagreb Film Festival and internationally premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
