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

The Kingdom of Twilight is a 1929 British-Australian film directed by British author and explorer Alexander MacDonald. It was filmed under the title Tanami, meaning "white feather". It was one of the few Australian films made during the late 1920s, when local production went through a major slump. The movie was financed in Britain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
