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

Foolish Heart is a Canadian television series which aired on CBC Television in 1999. The series, a short run dramatic anthology, was produced and written by Ken Finkleman following his earlier series The Newsroom and More Tears. Although the episodes are linked by character interactions, each of the series' six episodes focus on a different character's family or romantic relationship problems. Finkleman also stars in the series as George Findlay, the same character he plays in The Newsroom and More Tears. The series won Finkleman a 1999 Gemini Award for Best Direction in a Dramatic Series. The cast also includes Arsinée Khanjian, Sarah Strange, Tom McCamus, Nancy Beatty, Patricia O'Callaghan and Chris Benson. Finkleman's next project for the CBC was the series Foreign Objects.
