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

Yr Amgueddfa (Welsh for 'the museum') is a Welsh-language crime drama television series created and written by Fflur Dafydd and produced by Boom Cymru for S4C. Set within and inspired by Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, the series dramatises the self-destructive decline of Della Howells (Nia Roberts), a newly appointed museum director who begins an affair with a mysterious younger man and is drawn into the world of art crime. The first series of six episodes was broadcast on S4C between 30 May and 4 July 2021, with all episodes also made available on BBC iPlayer with English subtitles. A second series, set largely in Carmarthen and Carmarthenshire, began on Boxing Day 2022 and concluded on 29 January 2023. The series was nominated for a BAFTA Cymru for Television Drama in 2022 and received further nominations from the RTS Cymru and Celtic Media Festival Awards. It was subsequently sold internationally to BritBox in the United States and Canada, AXN Mystery in Japan and EITB in Spain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
