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

Fast Track English was a German educational television series produced by WDR, teaching English as a foreign or second language to German viewers. Produced in 1997 and 1998, the series was divided into two parts—the main Fast Track English, which focuses on the essentials of the English language in daily life over 26 episodes; and Fast Track English - "The Business World", a 13-part series about the use of English in business.
