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

Air Jaws is a series of sixteen TV specials about great white sharks that have aired on Discovery Channel's Shark Week. The specials are mainly filmed in the Indian Ocean off the coast of South Africa, many on Seal Island in False Bay, near Cape Town, or in Mossel Bay. In recent years, the series shifted to southern New Zealand. Air Jaws hosts have included Rocky Strong, Chris Fallows, Jeff Kurr, Andy Casagrande, Dickie Chivell, Paul De Gelder and Dr. Alison Towner. All sixteen specials were produced and directed by Jeff Kurr, who has filmed more than 100 breaching great whites. The third episode "Ultimate Air Jaws" was nominated for an Emmy, Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Cinematography - Nature in 2011. "Air Jaws: The Hunt for Colossus" kicked off Shark Week 2025, premiering Sunday, July 20th at 9pm. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
