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.

How it feels

Paul de Leeuw hosts this Dutch comedy show using his characters Bob and Annie de Rooij to challenge social taboos. One episode about AIDS won awards for its approach.

What happens

De schreeuw van De Leeuw was een Nederlands humoristisch televisieprogramma van de omroep VARA. De presentatie van het programma was in handen van Paul de Leeuw, waar tevens de programmanaam vanaf stamt. Met behulp van zijn typetjes Bob de Rooij en Annie de Rooij probeerde hij taboes te doorbreken. Velen noemen dit een van de beste programma's van De Leeuw, wat wordt ondersteund door het feit dat De schreeuw in 1994 werd genomineerd voor de Gouden Televizierring. Bovendien werd de uitzending met René Klijn over aids in 1992 beloond met de "Bronzen Roos" op het Festival van Montreux en de Zilveren Medaille "TV Programs and Promotion Award" op het New York Festival.
