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
Star Academy is a Greek reality TV show, and a licensed version of Endemol's Star Academy franchise. The series began on March 17, 2017 on the E Channel network and was completed on July 15, 2017. The judges were Anna Vissi (later replaced by Katerina Gkagkaki), Petros Kostopoulos, Nikos Mouratides, Nikos Karvelas (later replaced by Alexandros Rigas) and Natalia Germanou. A day prior the show's premiere, a program called Star Academy Kick off Live aired, which took place in the academy, the house of the contestants, and was presented by Katerina Kainourgiou and Themis Malis. There, three boys would sing live and people would vote their favourite; the boy with the most votes, would be the 16th contestant of the show. The show was renamed from the fifth live episode to Super Star Academy, due to Epsilon TV owing money to Endemol, the worldwide franchise's production company, which therefore prohibited the station from airing the show under its brand name. The headmistress of the academy was Katerina Gkagkaki and the teachers consisted of Aleksandros Rigas, Antonis Voerakos, Vasiliki Dimitropoulou, Vasilis Kostopoulos, Nikos Marianos and Polina Prelorentzou. The academy itself would operate inside a villa in Koropi (known as one of the filming sets for Mavra Mesanychta). Xristina Xirokosta was the winner of the show. Her first song, Des Kathara, was released by Panik Records on YouTube, on February 28, 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
