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

This documentary examines the unsolved 1943 plane crash that killed Polish general Władysław Sikorski in Gibraltar. It presents evidence suggesting that Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered Sikorski's assassination and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill covered it up because Sikorski wanted to publicize the Katyn massacre.

What happens

Churchills Verrat an Polen ist der Titel eines Doku-Dramas über den ungeklärten Flugzeugabsturz bei Gibraltar am 4. Juli 1943, bei dem der polnische General Władysław Sikorski ums Leben kam. Der Film stellt Anhaltspunkte für die Vermutung dar, es habe sich um einen vom sowjetischen Diktator Josef Stalin befohlenen und vom britischen Premierminister Winston Churchill gedeckten Auftragsmord an Sikorski gehandelt, weil dieser das Massaker von Katyn aufklären wollte. Als Produktionsunternehmen fungierten LOOKSfilm, ARTE, NDR, TVN. Die Erstausstrahlung war am 1. Juli 2011 auf Arte. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
