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

Pride is a 2014 historical comedy-drama film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus. It stars Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, Paddy Considine, Andrew Scott, George MacKay, Joseph Gilgun and Ben Schnetzer. Based on a true story, the film depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the British miners' strike in 1984, at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. The film had its world premiere in the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Queer Palm award. Screenwriter Beresford said a stage musical adaptation involving director Warchus was being planned. Pride was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and for the BAFTA for Best British Film, Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Staunton and for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. A stage musical adaptation is set to premiere in 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
