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.

How it feels

This documentary series covers the career of The Beatles through interviews with people who knew them including bandmates from The Quarrymen, old friends, crew members, and Lennon's sister. Unlike other documentaries, it does not feature surviving members speaking directly but instead uses contemporary clips and allows conflicting accounts from interviewees without corrections.

What happens

The Beatles: A Long and Winding Road er en dokumentarserie om karrieren til The Beatles. I motsetning til flere andre Beatles-programmer, er ikke de gjenlevende medlemmene selv (ved innspillingen Paul McCartney og Ringo Starr med, men det brukes samtidige klipp av dem. I stedet består serien av intervjuer med folk som kjente Beatles, som bandmedlemmer fra The Quarrymen, gamle venner fra The Beatles-perioden, Alistair Taylor, andre mennesker i crewet til The Beatles, Allan Williams og søsteren til Lennon. Ettersom dette ikke var grunn til å ta hensyn, er det flere ganger intervjuobjektenes vesjoner går på tvers av hverandre uten at det blir korrigeringer, blant annet sa Taylor klart at Williams aldri var manageren til The Beatles. Dette skapte dermed en mindre polert versjon enn The Beatles Anthology. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
