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

Christ Recrucified (Greek: Ο Χριστός Ξανασταυρώνεται; O Christos Xanastavronetai) is a Greek television series based on the homonymous novel of Nikos Kazantzakis. The series was aired in 1975 from the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation and was a great success. It was directed by Vasilis Georgiadis, a director nominated for two Oscars. The series stars the actors Katia Dandoulaki, Alexis Golfis, Lykourgos Kallergis, Andreas Filippidis, Georgia Vasileiadou, Giorgos Fountas and others. Alexis Golfis played the role of the Jesus Christ. Because he faced many troubles in his life and died relatively young, he associated with the curse of the actors who re-enacted the role of Christ in the cinema. Today an issue of a series consisted of 18 episodes of 50 minutes, is still saved. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
