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

The Marriage of Figaro (German: Figaros Hochzeit) is a 1920 German silent comedy film directed by Max Mack and starring Alexander Moissi, Hella Moja and Eduard von Winterstein. The film was most likely accompanied by Mozart's music when it was projected. The film is based on the 1784 play of the same name by Beaumarchais (but also on parts of the plot of the Barbier de Séville). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
