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

I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (often stylized I don't feel at home in this world anymore.) is a 2017 American neo-noir comedy thriller film, written and directed by Macon Blair in his directorial debut. It stars Melanie Lynskey, Elijah Wood, David Yow, Jane Levy, and Devon Graye. The film's title originates from an old gospel song, "Ain't Got No Home", which was popularized by country singers The Carter Family and Woody Guthrie. The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2017, where it went on to win the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Dramatic competition. It was released to streaming by Netflix on February 24, 2017, and was roundly praised by critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
