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

Tibet's Stolen Child is een Amerikaanse documentaire uit 2001 van documentairemaker Robin Garthwait. De productie was in handen van Gorthwait & Griffin Films en International Campaign for Tibet. Robin Garthwait en Dan Griffin waren drie jaar eerder actief als filmcrew bij het bezoek van de Dalai Lama aan Berkeley, waarmee hun interesse in Tibet werd gewekt. Met de speelfilms Seven years in Tibet en Kundun in het achterhoofd wilden ze een korte film maken die onder andere als voorfilm in de bioscoop zou kunnen dienen. Via de International Campaign for Tibet legden ze contacten met bekende acteurs als Richard Gere en Patrick Stewart en muzikanten als Sting om hun medewerking te vragen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
