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

Dreaming of Lords is a 1988 Australian documentary about the May 1988 cricket tour of an Australian team, fully made up of Aboriginal Australians. The team, captained by John McGuire, visited England to mark the Australian Bicentenary and it called back to the teams visit in 1868 which this documentary also discussed.
