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 film captures Frank Zappa and his band performing a selection of songs from three concerts in December 1973 at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. The performances blend parody of mainstream music with jazz, electronic experimentation, and crowd participation.

What happens
Roxy the Movie รจ un film musicale del 2015 che riproduce una selezione dei brani suonati dal polistrumentista e compositore Frank Zappa con la sua band tra l'8 e il 10 dicembre 1973 al Teatro Roxy di Los Angeles. Si tratta di una fedele rappresentazione del tipico concerto-evento di Zappa, costituito da un percorso che va dalla parodia della musica mainstream e commerciale, a incursioni nel jazz, sperimentazione elettronica e coinvolgimento del pubblico in alcuni divertenti siparietti sul palco. Il tutto inframmezzato da alcune improvvisazioni e assoli dei vari strumentisti, Zappa compreso. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
