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

It details the conflict that erupted at Utah Valley State College, now called Utah Valley University, when controversial liberal figure and documentarian Michael Moore was scheduled to come speak on campus shortly before the 2004 presidential election. The documentary explores rising political partisanship in the United States as Greenstreet examines the uproar from the students and community members and the subsequent debate surrounding the First Amendment.
