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

Brotherhood of Man is a 1945 industrial film; a 11-minute animated short produced by United Productions of America (UPA). The short, considered by some as UPA's breakthrough production, is based upon The Races of Mankind, an anti-discrimination pamphlet written by Ruth Benedict and Gene Weltfis and printed and distributed by the Public Affairs Committee.
