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

Egoli: Afrikaners is plesierig is 'n oorwegend Afrikaanse vollengte rolprent met Engelse onderskrifte wat op 16 Junie 2010 in teaters in Suid-Afrika begin draai het. Die rolprent is vervaardig nadat die laaste Egoli TV-sepie op 31 Maart 2010 uitgesaai is. Die rolprent het 'n ouderdomsperk van 13GT (geweld, taal). Die skrywer en vervaardiger is Franz Marx, die regisseur is Bromley Cawood en die hoofrolle word deur David Rees en Darren Kelfkens vertolk. Marx was gekant teen die vertoon van Engelse subtitels omdat hy glo dat dit meer steurend op die grootskerm as op televisie is. Nu Metro het egter aangedring dat subtitels vir Engelse kykers aangebring word omdat die rolprent meer Afrikaans as die TV-reeks bevat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
