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.

How it feels

Fourteen young singers live and train together in a flat while competing in a weekly singing competition. Each week they perform live on a concert show and face elimination by a jury, producers, and audience votes. The series follows their professional and personal lives until one winner is crowned after 12 weeks.
