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

Stripped is a 2014 documentary film about comic strips and their transition from the failing newspaper industry to the web. Work on Stripped began in 2010. The film's original concept was to make a documentary about cartoonists in their studios. Stripped features interviews with over 70 comic creators, who discuss their trade and its prospects in the 21st century. Interviewee Bill Watterson created the poster for Stripped, his first published art since ending Calvin and Hobbes in 1995. The film was crowdfunded through Kickstarter, and was released on the iTunes Store on April 1, 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
