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

Maestro is a 2014 French comedy-drama film directed by Léa Fazer. The idea of the film came from co-writer Jocelyn Quivrin's experience of working with director Éric Rohmer in 2006 on Rohmer's last film Romance of Astree and Celadon. It stars Pio Marmaï, Michael Lonsdale, Déborah François and Alice Belaïdi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
