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

Fraud is a 2016 conceptual collage film directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (credited at the time of release as Dean Fleischer-Camp) in his directorial debut. The film is made up of re-edited home videos uploaded to YouTube. It tells the fictional story of an average American family of four obsessively shopping at big-box stores until their increasing mountain of debt leads them to go to extremes in order to wipe the slate clean and keep the money flowing. David Gordon Green, Jody Hill, and Danny McBride serve as executive producers through Rough House Pictures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
