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

Pretville is 'n Afrikaanse rolprent wat op 23 November 2012 in fliekteaters landswyd begin draai het. Die rolprent het in sy openingsnaweek meer as R900 000 verdien. Die rolprent handel oor 'n klein fiktiewe dorpie in die laat 1950's wat in die harte van alle Suid-Afrikaners lê. Hier is alles moontlik en allerhande interessante dinge gebeur. Pretville is die blyplek van ʾn paar bekende akteurs en sangers, maar daar is ook nuwe intrekkers met nuwe, vars talent. Die dorp doen sy naam gestand en daar is altyd 'pret' in Pretville!
