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

Ahmed and Salim is an animated web series created by Or Paz and Tom Trager. The series is a satirical parody on religious fundamentalists, or, as the creators define it: "a sitcom about terrorists." It debuted on January 20, 2009 and has since become an Internet hit with over 2 million views and worldwide fans. There was an attempt to adapt the web series into a TV show. The creators produced a 22-minute pilot episode, which is a longer version of the 7th web episode, for the Israeli cable channel Bip on October 19, 2008. The pilot was rejected.
