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.

Produced by Amoghavarsha JS and Kalyan Varma in collaboration with Icon Films and Mudskipper, the film was edit produced by Nicholas Gates, narrated by Sir David Attenborough with music composed by Grammy Award winner, Ricky Kej and edited by Adam Kirby. The film was premiered on 3 March 2019 in front of an audience of 3000 at an open-air theatre at Palace Grounds in Bangalore, and was also specially screened at the United Nations headquarters in the year 2021. It was later theatrically released on 17 January 2020, through PVR Cinemas, thus becoming the first Indian wildlife-based film to be screened in theatres; and was also premiered through Discovery India's multiple television channels and the streaming service Discovery+ on 5 June 2020 with its dubbed versions being released the same day. The film opened to positive reception and was honoured with two awards at the 67th National Film Awards held in March 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
