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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

What happens

L'isola del tesoro è uno sceneggiato televisivo prodotto dalla Rai, andato in onda nel 1959, diretto da Anton Giulio Majano, basato sull'omonimo romanzo di Robert Louis Stevenson. Sebbene lo sceneggiato sia stato realizzato quasi interamente in studio, il regista riuscì a rendere bene l'incanto e lo spirito di avventura proprio del romanzo originale. È da ricordare anche la lugubre sigla Quindici uomini sulla cassa del morto. Nel 1987 la Rai trasse un altro sceneggiato omonimo dal romanzo, stavolta di ambientazione fantascientifica, per la regia di Antonio Margheriti. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
