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

L'Évasion est un film muet français réalisé par Georges Champavert, sorti en 1923. Il s'agit d'une adaptation pour le cinéma de la pièce éponyme d'Auguste de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam , créée à Paris, au Théâtre-Libre, le 10 octobre 1887 avec Jules Mévisto dans le rôle de Pagnol, en ouverture de la fameuse « soirée Goncourt », dans la petite salle du 37 passage de L'Élysée-des-Beaux-Arts, qui a définitivement lancé le Théâtre-Libre d'André Antoine.
