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

The Collector (Sakupljač - original title) is the first Serbian science fiction television series. The first five episodes were produced and broadcast by Studio B in December 2005, and the further seven episodes were broadcast during 2006. The Collector is based on a story by Zoran Živković who won the World Fantasy Award. All 12 episodes are directed by Marko Kamenica. The episodes can be watched separately, but together they form a coherent story arc, which is linked together by the titular Collector, played by Petar Kralj. Aside from the Collector, there is another character, a different one every episode, who changes his passion for collecting: memory, hope, autographs of dying people, etc. The series is made using minimal special effects, but in the style of The Twilight Zone.
