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

Rendez-vous en terre inconnue (formerly En terre inconnue) is a French television program broadcast first on France 5 and then on the France 2 network. It was hosted by Frédéric Lopez (who is also the originator of the concept) for years and is now hosted by Raphaël de Casabianca, and involves taking a French celebrity to an unknown destination to live with an ethnic minority for two weeks. The show aims to provide the viewer with a new outlook on a foreign group, whose culture and traditions are being threatened by the modern world. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
