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

Wir schalten um auf Hollywood ist ein Revuefilm aus dem Jahr 1931. Er wurde von MGM speziell für den deutschsprachigen Markt produziert und verwendet Passagen aus The Hollywood Revue of 1929 sowie dem fragmentarisch gebliebenen Film The March of Time. Aufgrund der komplett eigenen Rahmenhandlung handelt es sich ausdrücklich nicht um einen für die Zeit typischen Versionenfilm. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
