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

Benim Dünyam (My World) is a 2013 Turkish drama film directed by Uğur Yücel. It is the remake of the 2005 Indian film, Black which in turn was inspired by the true story of American political activist and lecturer Helen Keller, who was taught to read, write and speak, despite her condition as a deafblind. The remade in Turkish as Benim Dünyam (2013), which generated controversy in the media. On 5 September, when TMC Films released its trailer, Bhansali sent e-mails to the production company as no remake rights had been purchased, but they did not provide any response.
