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

Running To The Limits is a 2009 documentary film about filmmaker Alex Vero's journey to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Marathon. Narrated by Vero and set against the backdrop of a massive decline in British professional marathon running, the film spans over three years and several continents as he works to overcome physical and personal demons and complete his marathon training. It features Vero's story, as well as those of famous runners and coaches who he meets while training. The film won for Best Documentary at the 2009 Norwich Film Festival, screened in the UK and was broadcast by Channel 4. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
