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

The Voice Sri Lanka is a singing competition reality television program from Sri Lanka, broadcast on Sirasa TV. It premiered on 21 November 2020 and has continued airing with yearly seasons ever since. The series is based on the original Dutch singing competition, The Voice of Holland, created by media tycoon John de Mol Jr., and is part of a larger international franchise. Contestants are selected by a panel of four judges (known as "coaches") who face away from the contestants, judging the singers solely on their voice. If a coach wants the performing contestant on their team, they press a button which turns their chair, revealing the singer’s appearance. If more than one coach turns, the contestant chooses which coach's team to join. The coaches have varied across seasons. In Seasons One and Two, the panel included Bathiya and Santhush, Kasun Kalhara, Sashika Nisansala, and Umaria Sinhawansa. Season Two introduced a fifth coach, Supun Perera, who led a "Comeback Stage" team. Season Three replaced the original four with new coaches: Supun Perera, Mihindu Ariyaratne, Raini Charuka, and Hirushi Jayasena. The coaches guide their teams through multiple stages of competition. The show follows the success of its predecessor, The Voice Teens, which gained massive fame in Sri Lanka, spawning spin-offs like The Voice Kids. The show’s first season premiered on 21 November 2020; Season Two concluded on 21 May 2023. The series has produced three winners: Harith Wijeratne (Team Umaria), Rameesh Sashinka (Ramiya) (Team Supun), and Imesh Sandeepa (Team Supun). Winners are chosen by television viewers voting via SMS. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
