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

What happens

La figlia di Iorio è un film del 1911 diretto da Arrigo Frusta, tratto dalla omonima tragedia di Gabriele D'Annunzio del 1904, ridotta per lo schermo dallo stesso regista. La pellicola non risulta reperibile tra quelle prodotte dalla Ambrosio Film ed è pertanto da considerarsi un film perduto. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
