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.

How it feels

This is a 25-hour avant-garde film by Andy Warhol. It is made up of multiple 35-minute reels shot in sync sound. The title of the film is a joke on the star rating system for movies.

What happens

Four Stars (also known as ****) is a 1967 avant-garde film by Andy Warhol, consisting of 25 hours of film. In typical Warhol fashion of the period, each reel of the film is 35 minutes long, or 1200 ft. in length, and is shot in sync-sound. The film's title is a pun on the rating system used by critics to rank films, with "four stars" being the highest rating. Four Stars was split into several films, including Tub Girls (1967), Imitation of Christ (1967), and Loves of Ondine (1968). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
