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

Yek Santimetr Ta Labkhand (Persian: یک سانتیمتر تا لبخند) is an Iranian television series which takes the viewer both onstage and backstage. It uses four filming formats: story, documentary, hidden camera, and house-to-house. The last is the most intriguing; it involves one person performing in a community's poorest neighborhood as its people gather around him. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
