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

Let Them Eat Rock is a 2004 documentary film by Rodman Flender that follows five eventful years in the Boston-based rock band The Upper Crust. Flender began filming the band in 1997. He put the project on hold to direct the horror-comedy movie Idle Hands. When he returned to finish editing, guitarist and singer Edward L. Widmer had left the group to become a speechwriter in the Clinton White House. Flender started shooting again to include this turn of events. The documentary played film festivals in 2005 and 2006 to mostly positive notices. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
