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

Salad Days was a 45-minute Australian telecast of the play Salad Days, which toured there starring Judy Banks in 1958. Directed by Arthur Wyndham, it aired from the Elizabethan Theatre, Sydney, on ABN-2 on 16 April, the first live musical televised in the country from the professional stage. The previous year the Australian Broadcasting Corporation had broadcast a TV revue. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
