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

Il fornaretto di Venezia (littéralement : Le petit boulanger de Venise) est un film italien réalisé en 1907 par Mario Caserini. Ce film muet en noir et blanc, qui évoque l'implacable justice des doges à travers la condamnation à mort par erreur d'un jeune vénitien, s'inspire d'une pièce de théâtre de Francesco Dall'Ongaro (en), Il fornaretto (it) (1846).
