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

700 Haie in der Nacht (Originaltitel: 700 requins dans la nuit, internationaler Titel: 700 Sharks) ist ein französischer Dokumentarfilm von Luc Marescot aus dem Jahr 2018. Der Film begleitet den Meeresbiologen, Taucher und Unterwasserfotografen Laurent Ballesta und sein Team bei einer Expedition zum Fakarava-Atoll in Französisch-Polynesien. Im Mittelpunkt stehen eine außergewöhnlich große Ansammlung Grauer Riffhaie im südlichen Pass des Atolls und die Frage, wie die Tiere dort nachts jagen. Im selben Produktionszusammenhang entstand auch die 360-Grad-VR-Serie 700 Sharks. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
