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

Apricot Island (Slovak: Marhuľový ostrov) is a 2011 Slovak drama-romance, starring Szidi Tobias. The movie distributed by Film Europe, was directed by Peter Bebjak, while produced in common with Rastislav Šesták for their DNA Production company. At the 19th Třinecké filmové babí léto, the work won Audience Award as the Best Debut Feature Film in September 2011. The same year, the film was shortlisted for the Slovak submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but the nomination went to Gypsy.
