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

Ciao, 2020! is the New Year's edition of the Evening Urgant program, which aired on Channel One on 30 December 2020. The release parodies holiday concerts of 1980s Italian pop music and traditions of Soviets, and later Little Blue Light (airing on rival VGTRK). All participants in the program, presenters and performers, have stylized Italian names and pseudonyms. Although the show's language is Italian, it has Russian subtitles. The YouTube version of the show has been featured in many Italian media outlets. In four days, the video had been viewed 4.5 million times. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
