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

"Buratino" on 2009. aasta Eesti ja Venemaa koostöös valminud komöödiafilm, mille on lavastanud Rasmus Merivoo. Film põhineb Aleksei Tolstoi lasteraamatul "Kuldvõtmeke ehk Buratino seiklused". Filmi võtted kestsid 1. juulist 19. augustini 2008 Venemaal Peterburis ja Kroonlinnas. "Buratino" sünd oli raske. Algselt pidi "Buratinost" tulema Wimbergi stsenaariumiga René Vilbre lavastatud film, kuid see ei saanud rahastust. Seejärel anti stsenaarium üle Merivoole, kes kirjutas selle ümber. Enne "Buratino" võtete algust ei sobinud aga Merivoo stsenaarium venelastele ning suur osa algselt plaanitud võttekohti ja mängima pidanud näitlejaid langes ära. Enne filmimise algust suutis Merivoo siiski mõned muutused läbi suruda. Survet lisas veel see, et paar nädalat enne filmimise algust vahetati välja operaator, kunstnik ja kostüümikunstnik.
