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

Birds of the Gods is a PBS Nature documentary on the bird of paradise in Papua New Guinea. It features the field research of conservationists Paul Igag and Miriam Supuma, who document the mating behaviors of different species of birds of paradise, and the ceremonial use of the birds' plumage by the tribes of New Guinea. Igag passed away shortly after release and is honored with a brief in memorium at the end of the program. It is narrated by Sir David Attenborough. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
