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

Chefs A’ Field is an American documentary cooking series broadcast on public television that focuses on the personal stories of farmers, fishermen, foragers and chefs, offering viewers a new way of looking at their food, environment, and community (strong focus on sustainability). Each episode of Chefs A’ Field starts with a well-known restaurant, travels to the field and returns to the kitchen, where the ingredients are transformed into dishes on the menus of America's finest restaurants. The audience views the chefs' interactions with farmers and fishermen. Now in its third season on television, Chefs A’ Field offers a new batch of culinary adventures for all ages as America's best chefs—and their kids—venture out to farms, fishing boats and ranches for a look at where great food comes from. Together, the chefs and their children go in search of fresh ingredients for unique local specialties, interacting with farmers, fishermen, foragers and ranchers, in Chefs A’ Field: Kids on the Farm. Top chefs featured in the Chefs A’ Field season one, two, and three include Cathal Armstrong, Greg Atkinson, Dan Barber, John Besh, David Bull, Karen DeMasco, Traci Des Jardins, Tom Douglas, Suzanne Goin, Debbie Gold, Todd Gray, Stan Frankenthaler, Sam Hayward, Peter Hoffman, Matt Littledog, Michael Mina, Rick Moonen, Michel Nischan, Patrick O’Connell, Jacques Pepin, Odessa Piper, Nora Pouillon, Anne Quatrano, Mitch & Steve Rosenthal, Richard Sandoval, George Schenk, Cory Schreiber, Bruce Sherman, Holly Smith, Michael Smith, Frank Stitt, Johnathan Sundstrom, Bill Telepan, Jeff Tunks, Robert Wiedmaier, Jason Wilson, Joseph Wrede, and others. Chefs A’ Field was the first cooking-related program ever to be produced in High Definition for American viewing and has received wide critical acclaim as well as an Emmy Award nomination and awarded two prestigious James Beard Awards, including Best National Television Cooking Program. The series has also received two CINE Golden Eagle Awards, two White House Photographers Awards, The Chicago Film Festival's Gold Hugo Award, and has been recognized by Food & Wine Magazine with their annual Tastemaker Award. The anticipated fourth season of the critically acclaimed series will offer a new batch of culinary adventures from around the world. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
