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

Big Difference (Russian: Большая разница, romanized: Bolshaya raznitsa) was a Russian parody TV show. Conceptually it is similar to the MADtv show or the German comedy show, Switch. Created by producers Aleksandr Tsekalo and Ruslan Sorokin in 2007. The actors within the project are performing parodies of the most popular Russian and world celebrities, TV programs, movies, etc. In 2012, the show was rebranded to Big Difference TV and one of the hosts, Ivan Urgant, was contracted by the Russian competing channel TNT to leave the show.
