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

Edge of the Wedge was an Australian magazine style television show broadcast in 1986 by the ABC. It was aimed at a teenage audience and aired Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 6pm with Tuesdays having a prime focus on music. Reporters and presenters included Mandy Salomon, David Wales, Tracee Hutchison, Greg Parke, Unjoo Moon, Mark Dodshon, Zoe Carides, Tracey Callander and Henry Pepper. It focused on Australian bands and youth culture and politics. They recorded live music footage from Australian pubs, some of which was later aired on The Noise. The show ended in October. The axing was then suspended pending survey of 15-25 year olds but results came back negative and the axing stood. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
