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

Fade In is a 1968 American romantic drama film starring Burt Reynolds and Barbara Loden, released in 1973. It was filmed in tandem with the Silvio Narizzano film Blue, with its actors appearing unbilled in various scenes. When the film was released in 1973, it was credited to the pseudonym Alan Smithee (though the onscreen credit reads "Allen Smithee"), making it the earliest film to be shot to use that pseudonym. It had initially been created for the film Death of a Gunfighter, which was released in 1969. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
