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 Far Horizons is a 1955 American historical Western film directed by Rudolph Maté about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It is based on 1943 novel Sacajawea of the Shoshones by Della Gould Emmons and stars Fred MacMurray, Charlton Heston, Donna Reed and Barbara Hale. Although the film is the only major American motion picture about the Lewis and Clark Expedition, many details are fictional and historically inaccurate. It was rereleased in 1962 by Citation Films as Untamed West in a double feature with Jungle Attack. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
