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

What happens

Kassa (English: Cash Register) is a Dutch consumer television program produced by BNNVARA (formerly just VARA), which was created by Felix Meurders. Meurders hosted the program from 1989 to 2011. From 2011 to 2019 it was hosted by Brecht van Hulten. Since 2020 it is hosted by Amber Kortzorg. The program focuses on consumer affairs, reviewing and testing products, and also doing investigative reporting on issues with products or services. VARA also produces spinoffs of Kassa, such as a daily internet program called "Consumentennieuws" (Consumer News), Kassa 3 - aimed more towards youth audiences, and Radio Kassa, a consumer news talk program. In 2004, the VARA received the Dutch "Spin-Award" prize from the general public in the Netherlands. On 29 September 2007, Kassa won an award in the Prix Italia for the show's interactive web content.
