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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Dateline is an Australian international current affairs program broadcast on SBS Television on Tuesday evenings at 9:30pm. Since its debut as Dateline World at 8:00pm on Friday, 19 October 1984, it has focused largely on international political and social issues, often in developing countries and conflict zones. In 2015, the program changed its format, changing from one-hour episodes featuring multiple stories, to half-hour single subject episodes. The series focuses on under-reported stories from around the globe, with a documentary-style format. It is broadcast on Tuesdays at 9:30pm following Insight, and all episodes are available to view on SBS On Demand. It is the longest-running international current affairs program in Australia.
