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

Manufacturing the Threat is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Amy Miller and released in 2023. The film centres on the case of John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, a couple from Surrey, British Columbia, who, after converting to Islam, were coerced by undercover Royal Canadian Mounted Police agents into participating in a fake terrorist plot concocted solely to entrap them in a crime. Nuttall and Korody spent three years in prison before being cleared by the British Columbia Supreme Court in 2016, and subsequently launched a lawsuit against the RCMP in 2022. The film premiered at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in May 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
