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 Howard Years is a documentary series about the prime ministership of John Howard produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It was divided into four one-hour episodes – one episode for each term Howard served as Prime Minister of Australia – and was originally broadcast on ABC1 from 17 November to 8 December 2008. The program continued the ABC's contemporary tradition of producing a similar long-form retrospective documentary series of Australian governments – albeit The Howard Years was produced following the end of the Howard government, unlike the previous Labor in Power series.
