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

Filip Jan Rymsza (born December 29, 1977) is a Polish-born filmmaker and writer. He is best known for, along with fellow producer Frank Marshall, spearheading the successful completion of Orson Welles' last major work, The Other Side of the Wind. Filmed in the early 1970s but not fully edited, the completed movie debuted at the 75th annual Venice Film Festival in August 2018. He was also a producer on the award-winning Morgan Neville documentary They'll Love Me When I'm Dead. Rymsza made his feature film directorial debut in 2020, with Mosquito State. It premiered at the 77th Venice Film Festival, where it was awarded the Bisaro d'Oro for Best Cinematography. Mosquito State was released by AMC Networks on Shudder. It was The New York Times' Critic's Pick, described as "a disquieting merger of body horror and social commentary... pierced by moments of disturbing beauty". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
