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

Groupie Girl is a 1970 British drama film, directed by Derek Ford and starring Esme Johns, Donald Sumpter and the band Opal Butterfly. The film was written by Ford and former groupie Suzanne Mercer. American International Pictures bought the US distribution rights for £50,000 and released the film in America in 1971 under the title I am a Groupie. It was released in France in 1973, with additional sex scenes, as Les demi-sels de la perversion (The Pimps of Perversion). It was re-released in France in 1974 as Les affamées du mâle (Man-Hungry Women), this time with hardcore inserts. Seventeen minutes of hardcore footage, shot for the film, were discovered in 2024.
