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

Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All is a 2013 independent documentary film chronicling the history of the American punk rock bands the Descendents and All. It was written by Matt Riggle, who produced and directed it with Deedle LaCour. The film uses an oral history format, telling the bands' stories through the use of interviews with over 40 subjects, as well as new and archival footage. It stars drummer Bill Stevenson, singer Milo Aukerman, bassist Karl Alvarez, and guitarist Stephen Egerton, and features nearly all past and present members of both bands. Filmage also features numerous musicians who were contemporaries of, worked with, or were influenced by the Descendents and All. The documentary premiered June 15, 2013 and was shown in select screenings and at film festivals in North America, South America, Europe, and Australia throughout 2013 and 2014. It had a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles in September and October 2014 before being widely released on home video. Filmage has received mostly positive reviews from critics. The film's title derives from the band's tradition of titling some songs and albums by adding the suffix "-age" to words that would not normally use it (cf. "Myage", "Tonyage", "Bikeage", "Cameage", Liveage!, and "Daveage"). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
