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

Moving Out is a 1983 film about a young Italian-Australian adolescent in Melbourne directed by Michael Pattinson. Pattinson met Jan Sardi, who was a school teacher wanting to move into writing. They discussed making the movie as a 50-minute film and it evolved into a feature. Most of the money was raised privately except for $50,000 from the Australian Film Commission. The movie was shot over six weeks in various schools in inner Melbourne. It was shot on 16 mm and blown up to 35mm. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
