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

The Lion at World's End (ook bekend als Christian the Lion en The lion who thought he was people) is een Britse documentaire uit 1971. De documentaire gaat over een tamme leeuw, genaamd Christian die als welpje aan een groep winkeliers werd verkocht en in een Engels winkeltje opgroeit. Als hij ouder wordt willen twee natuurbeschermers hem terugzetten in Kenia. In de documentaire is beeldmateriaal van Christian in Engeland en Kenia te zien, met een vertelstem van de wetenschappers ter verduidelijking. De film is in het publiek domein.
