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

#FAQMP is a Canadian political interview series, which aired on ichannel and as a web series. Based around the principle of engaging viewers in the political process through social media, each episode of the program entered the production phase by soliciting participation in an online vote to determine which of three Canadian Members of Parliament would be interviewed that week by host Karyn Pugliese. Once the guest was selected, viewers were also invited to submit questions for Pugliese to ask. MPs who were interviewed on the show included Dean Del Mastro, Justin Trudeau, Jason Kenney, Kyle Seeback, Parm Gill, Ted Hsu, Kevin Lamoureux, Devinder Shory, Bruce Stanton, Patrick Brown, Jim Karygiannis, and Claude Gravelle. The series garnered a nomination for Best Cross-Platform Project, Non-Fiction at the 1st Canadian Screen Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
