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.

Set during a second American civil war fought between a despotic federal government and secessionist movements, the plot follows a group of war journalists traveling from New York City to Washington, D.C., to interview the president of the United States before rebels take the capital city. Principal photography began in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2022, with production moving to London later in the year. Civil War premiered at South by Southwest on March 14, 2024, and was released in the United States by A24 and in the United Kingdom by Entertainment Film Distributors on April 12, 2024.
