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

Sweet Dreamers is a 1981 Australian film directed by Tom Cowan and starring Richard Moir and Sue Smithers. The film is about a filmmaker and his girlfriend. Cowan has said the film was very autobiographical and met with a great deal of resistance from funding bodies. It was the last dramatic feature film directed by Cowan for a long time. The film was partly funded by the Creative Development Branch of the Australian Film Commission. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
