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

The Money Maker (French: L'Affaire Bojarski, lit. 'the Bojarski affair') is a 2025 French drama film directed by Jean-Paul Salomé from a screenplay he co-wrote with Bastien Daret. Inspired by the true story of Jan Bojarski, a Polish refugee who became one of postwar France's most accomplished counterfeiters, the film stars Reda Kateb as Bojarski and Bastien Bouillon as the police commissioner who spends over a decade trying to catch him, alongside Sara Giraudeau and Pierre Lottin. The film premiered at the De l'écrit à l'écran festival in Montélimar on 21 September 2025 and went on general release in France, distributed by Le Pacte, on 14 January 2026.
