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

Wham! in China: Foreign Skies is a 1986 British documentary film about the English pop duo Wham! consisting of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. It follows Wham! on their historic 10-day visit to China during the 1985 world tour when they became the first Western pop act to visit the country. The film is a British venture produced by Big Boys Overseas Limited and CBS Records, with CBS/Fox Video serving as distributor. The film was directed by Lindsay Anderson and produced by Jazz Summers, Martin Lewis and Simon Napier-Bell. Anderson originally made a film of the tour titled If You Were There; however, this version was never released and Anderson was fired from the project while the film was remade into Wham! in China: Foreign Skies. Wham! in China: Foreign Skies had its world premiere at the farewell concert held at London's Wembley Stadium on 28 June 1986. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
