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

Ring Around the World (Italian: Duello nel mondo, French: Duel dans le monde) is a 1966 Italian-French Eurospy spy thriller written and directed by Luigi Scattini (here credited as Arthur Scott) and starring Richard Harrison. The French director Georges Combret is credited as co-director but he only shot a few scenes of the film. Several scenes were originally shot in Hong Kong but due to production issues they were unusable and had to be re-shot in Rome. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
