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

Focus on Africa is a BBC news programme broadcast on the international feed of the BBC News channel, and on local partner channels of the BBC in African countries. The programme was presented by Komla Dumor each weekday from its inception until his sudden death, aged 41, in January 2014. The programme includes news, sport and business from across Africa and around the world. The programme was closely related to Dira ya Dunia, an African-focused programme broadcast on BBC Swahili, which noticeably used the same title sequence. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
