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.
How it feels
A presenter interviews famous filmmakers about their careers and the movies that inspired them. Each episode includes clips from those influential films and a look back at the director's own work.

What happens
Life Cinematic is a BBC television series of in-depth interviews with notable filmmakers, with clips from movies that have influenced them. With The Film Review and associated programs, Life Cinematic fills the gap left by the cancellation of the BBCs long-running Film... series in 2018. It is produced by Somethin’ Else and presented either by Edith Bowman or Robbie Collin, who give a brief résumé of the interviewee's career before conducting the interview. In the first 60-minute episode, broadcast 30 January 2020, Bowman spoke with Sir Sam Mendes, the British director whose blockbuster film 1917 was released three weeks previously.
