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

Storytelling Giant is a 1988 compilation album of music videos by American rock band Talking Heads during the 1980s. The videos are linked by real people (not actors) telling stories from their lives; the stories have no logical connection to the videos. The film has been released on VHS and LaserDisc. A DVD version was released as part of Rhino Entertainment's box set Once in a Lifetime (2003), with three additional videos. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
