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

Stella Blómkvist is an Icelandic crime television series which was first broadcast in 2017. It is produced by the Icelandic company Sagafilm. The show is loosely based on books of the same title by an anonymous Icelandic writer. The series was written by Jóhann Ævar Grímsson, Nanna Kristín Magnúsdóttir and Andri Óttarsson, and directed by Óskar Thór Axelsson. After the success in Iceland the show became available in 2018 on Viaplay in the Nordic countries, in 2019 on Sundance Now in the United States and in 2020 SBS Australia acquired the rights for broadcasting in Australia. After four years, a second season of the show premiered in Iceland on 30 September 2021 and became globally available in the months afterwards. In April 2024, it was announced by broadcaster Síminn through an Instagram private message that the show would not be renewed for a third season.[1] (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
