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

Hostile Advances: The Kerry Ellison Story is a 1996 American made-for-television drama film based on Ellison v. Brady, a landmark sexual harassment case. This lawsuit set the precedent for the "reasonable woman" standard in sexual harassment law which allows for cases to be analyzed from the perspective of the complainant and not the defendant. Starring Rena Sofer as Kerry Ellison, the film told the story from the perspective of Ellison. It was first broadcast on Lifetime Television on May 27, 1996. The movie is directed by Allan Kroeker and written by Layce Gardner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
