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

Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan was an Indian television talk show that was aired by national broadcaster Doordarshan from 1972 to 1993. It was the first talkshow of Indian television, and featured child actress-turned-host Tabassum interviewing famous Bollywood movie and television personalities. The format consisted of conversation interspersed with film scenes. In the 1980s, this was one of the main avenues for television advertisers to reach a broad Indian audience. Doordarshan started its operations in Mumbai on 2 October 1972. Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan had its first episode aired a week later on 8 October 1972. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
