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

Vita futurista (littéralement « La Vie futuriste ») est un film de 1916 réalisé et produit par Arnaldo Ginna sur un scénario écrit par Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, fondateur du futurisme. Il s'agit d'un film important dans l'histoire du cinéma, car en plus d'être le premier film futuriste, c'est très vraisemblablement le premier film d'avant-garde jamais tourné. Il est toutefois considéré comme perdu. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
