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.

What happens

La fiera della vanità - talvolta indicato erroneamente come La fiera delle vanità - è il titolo di uno sceneggiato televisivo, prodotto dalla Rai e trasmesso in sette puntate dall'allora Programma Nazionale in prima serata la domenica. Tratto dal romanzo omonimo di William Makepeace Thackeray, era diretto da Anton Giulio Majano, che ne curò la sceneggiatura e l'adattamento televisivo, coadiuvato dal poeta Attilio Bertolucci e in collaborazione anche con il commediografo Aldo Nicolaj. Girato in bianco ed nero negli studi Rai di Napoli, aveva scenografie di Nicola Rubertelli; i costumi erano a cura di Giancarlo Bertolini Salimbeni mentre autore delle musiche era Riz Ortolani.
