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.
How it feels

What happens
A Question of Leadership รจ un documentario di Ken Loach, del 1980. Commissionato da ATV per la rete televisiva ITV doveva essere trasmesso per la prima volta il 5 agosto 1980 ma la Independent Broadcasting Authority ritenne che il documentario fosse eccessivamente schierato dalla parte degli scioperanti e violasse le norme etiche non permettendo un dibattito equilibrato tra le parti. Impose pertanto a ATV di ritirare il documentario e di effettuare delle modifiche; venne quindi trasmesso in tarda notte e solo nelle regioni del Midlands il 13 agosto 1981, con tagli che ridussero la durata del documentario per poter ospitare, alla fine della messa in onda, un dibattito televisivo su una richiesta espressa dalla Independent Broadcasting Authority. Al dibattito parteciparono Bill Sirs (segretario del ISTC), George Wright (segretario del TUC Gallese), Bernard Connolly, Alan Thornett, e James Bellini come moderatore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
