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

Last Breath is a 2019 British documentary film directed by Richard da Costa and Alex Parkinson. It relates the story of a serious saturation diving accident in 2012, when diver Chris Lemons had his excursion umbilical cable severed and was trapped around 100 metres (330 ft) under the sea without heat or light, and with only the small amount of breathing gas in his bailout cylinder. In 2025, Parkinson directed a feature film version of the event. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
