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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Stones and Brian Jones is a 2023 British documentary film directed by Nick Broomfield about Brian Jones, a founding member of the Rolling Stones. The film examines Jones's role in forming the band, his musical contribution, his relationships, his marginalization as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards became the group's songwriting focus, and his death in 1969. The documentary aired on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in May 2023 and was released in the United States by Magnolia Pictures later that year. Reviews were generally positive and emphasized Broomfield's use of interviews with Jones's former partners and associates, as well as the film's argument that Jones's upbringing and emotional isolation shaped his decline.
