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

Stories of Jesus is an Australian television series which aired from 1957 to 1958. It was shown on ABC in Melbourne and Sydney, the only two cities in Australia which had television at the time. As the title suggests, it was a religious series. It aired in a 10-minute time-slot. It is not known how many episodes were produced. Remarkably, despite the mass wiping of ABC archival material in the 1970s, the National Film and Sound Archive holds four episodes, though one of these prints is missing the soundtrack.
