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

Foodies är en svensk dokumentärfilm från 2014 i regi av Thomas Jackson, Charlotte Landelius och Henrik Stockare. Foodies skildrar ett slags kulinariska jetsetare som reser världen runt och äter på lyxrestauranger i syfte att hitta den bästa maten. Filmen kontrasterar även dessa människor mot dem som inte har mat för dagen, men är främst inriktad på vad som driver dem och vilket inflytande de har. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
