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

Class Action Park is a 2020 documentary film about the American amusement park Action Park, which was located in Vernon Township, New Jersey. It was known for the popularity it had among locals, and is infamous for the poor safety record of the attractions located on its grounds. The title is based on one of the popular nicknames by parkgoers, alongside "Traction Park" and "Accident Park". The film premiered virtually at the 2020 Florida Film Festival and was released a week later on HBO Max. It premiered on TNT on December 27, 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
