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

Welcome to Wonderland is a feature documentary film, by director James Short, about music and dance. Released on DVD in June 2006 after more than five years in the making, this film explores Australia's vibrant outdoor bush rave party scene through the thoughts of participants. The trance scene in Melbourne, Australia, is considered one of the best in the world, and sees the convergence of travellers from all parts of the globe, especially Japan and Israel. With party organisations like Rainbow Serpent and Earthcore there are as many as 10,000 people who come together to celebrate and dance. The film follows the party lives of characters: Matty, Krusty, Lauire, Margaret, Raff, and Holly. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
