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.
How it feels
A Greek-Australian man faces cultural stereotypes and family pressures. He finds unexpected success and romance through his love of cars and his unapologetic identity.

What happens
The Wog Boy is a 2000 Australian comedy film directed by Aleksi Vellis and starring Nick Giannopoulos, Vince Colosimo, Lucy Bell, Abi Tucker, Stephen Curry, Tony Nikolakopoulos and Derryn Hinch. Whilst the word wog is extremely derogatory in British English, in Australian English it may be considered non-offensive depending on how the word is used, due to reclamation and changing connotations. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2000 the soundtrack was nominated for Best Original Soundtrack Album. It is the first part of Giannopoulous's eponymous Wog Boy trilogy, preceding Wog Boy 2: Kings of Mykonos (2010) and Wog Boys Forever (2022). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
