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

Slater Jewell-Kemker (born 1992) is an American-Canadian filmmaker and climate activist. She was born in Los Angeles, California, and has been making films since six years old. Jewell-Kemker first became interested in climate change at age 13. When she was 15 years old, she began production on An Inconvenient Youth (2012), chronicling the rise of the global youth climate movement. The same topic was portrayed in her film Youth Unstoppable (2018), which Jewell-Kemker worked on for 12 years. In 2013, she completed a program at the Canadian Film Centre, elaborating the short film Alice (2013). Her 2014 short film Still was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
