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

Loose Enz is a 1982 New Zealand anthology television series. It was a series of 12 New Zealand plays broadcast on Sunday nights. The standalone plays covered many subjects such as Maori land rights, politics, foreign land ownership, rehabilitation, and sex and marriage. Looking back at the previous years television Ken Strongman of the Press wrote of the series "The "Loose Enz" series was a fine idea, but the plays themselves were mostly so lightweight as to float instantly from memory," (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
