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

3 to Go is an Australian portmanteau film consisting of three stories— Michael, Judy, and Toula—each presenting a young Australian at a moment of decision about their future. It was the Australian government controlled Commonwealth Film Unit's first fiction feature film. The film was first shown on Australian television in February 1971. The film won the Silver Medallion at the Australian Film Institute Awards and one of the stories, Michael, written and directed by Peter Weir, won the 1971 AFI Grand Prix Award.
