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

Berliner este un film românesc din 2020 regizat de Marian Crișan. Este cel de-al patrulea lungmetraj al regizorului Marian Crișan, după Morgen, Rocker și Orizont. Scenariul este semnat de Marian Crișan și Gabriel Andronache, iar imaginea de Oleg Mutu. A avut premiera la cea de-a 42-a ediție a Festivalului Internațional de film de la Moscova (MIFF) care a avut loc între 1 și 8 octombrie 2020, unul dintre cele mai vechi festivaluri de film din lume. Titlul filmului vine de la sintagma „Ich bin ein Berliner”, din faimosul discurs anti-comunist al lui John F. Kennedy, ținut în Berlinul de Vest, în vara anului 1963. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
