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

Startime is an Australian television series which aired 1962 to 1963. A Sydney-produced variety series with emphasis on music, it was hosted by John Laws and produced by ATN-7, with the series shown interstate (such as on HSV-7 in Melbourne). In Sydney it aired each Saturday at 7:30PM in a 60 minute timeslot. It was produced by American Gil Rodin, and was seen as a follow-up to the Revue '62 series. Despite having aired in an era where music shows were often wiped, a large number of episodes of the series are held by the National Film and Sound Archive. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
