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

Number 96: The Movie is an Australian drama feature film, released in 1974 and based on the television soap opera of the same title that was then running on the 0-10 network. The film features nearly all the show's regular cast, and was created by the show's creative team, Cash Harmon Television with the screenplay by David Sale and Johnny Whyte and directed by Peter Benardos and Brian Phillis. The film's drawcard was that the picture was shot in color, whilst at that time the regular serial was still broadcasting in monochrome. The film also has more revealing nudity than was allowed on TV at the time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
