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

The Peacemaker is a 1997 American political action thriller film directed by Mimi Leder in her feature debut. Starring George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Marcel IureČ™ and Aleksandr Baluev, it was the first film distributed by DreamWorks Pictures. While the story takes place all over the world, it was shot primarily in Slovakia with some sequences filmed in New York City, Philadelphia and North Macedonia. The basis for the film was the 1997 book One Point Safe by Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, which examined the state of Russia's nuclear arsenal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
