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

《아미지몽》은 SBS의 멀티미디어 사업을 담당하는 자회사 SBSi가 국내 최초로 PPL 방식으로만 제작 경비를 조달한 인터넷 영화이다. PPL 방식은 영화사가 광고료를 받고 영화에 특정 회사의 상품을 소품으로 등장시켜 광고 효과를 얻게 하는 자금 조달 방식을 의미한다. 2001년 3월 26일 오후 11시에 인터넷 사이트(www.sbs.co.kr)에서 개봉하였고, 이후 열흘간에 걸쳐 10분씩 10부작으로 방영되었다. 부분 방영이 끝난 뒤에는 총 100분 분량의 완성본이 인터넷에 공개되었다. SBS 드라마 《카이스트》 등의 드라마를 만들었던 김경용 PD가 감독을 맡았다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
