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

Daft Punk Unchained is an Anglo-French documentary film that was televised on 24 June 2015 in France and on 9 February 2016 in the United Kingdom. It documents the rise to fame and personal lives of Daft Punk members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter and their pioneering influence on electronic music. The film runs chronologically through the artists' early years before their foundation of Daft Punk, up to the release of their 2013 album Random Access Memories and performance at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, in which they won five Grammy Awards. The documentary combines rare archive footage with interviews with Daft Punk's closest collaborators, including Pharrell Williams, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, Skrillex, Kanye West and Michel Gondry. No new footage of Daft Punk was shot for the documentary. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
