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

A broke guy in Brooklyn thinks he can steal a Banksy mural from a wall in New Orleans to sell it for big money. He puts together a team, but hiding their mission and dealing with the hurricane-ravaged city makes things harder than he expects.

What happens

Chasing Banksy è un film del 2015 diretto da Frank Henenlotter. Quartiere di Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Lo squattrinato Anthony lavora in un negozio di dischi per finanziarsi l'attività di guerrilla painting. Un giorno scopre che l'artista Banksy ha creato un certo numero di opere sui muri di New Orleans, in occasione del terzo anniversario dell'uragano Katrina. Convinto di poter portarsi via impudentemente una creazione di Banksy per poterla rivendere con gran profitto, anche a costo di dover tagliare la parete di un edificio, Anthony mette insieme una piccola squadra con cui dividerà i proventi della ricettazione, e raggiunge New Orleans. Ma aggirarsi per i quartieri distrutti dall'uragano e, soprattutto, tenere nascosto l'obiettivo della spedizione, si rivela essere un'impresa più ardua del previsto. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
