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 Face is a modeling–themed reality television series that follows three supermodel coaches (mentor) as they compete with each other to find 'the face' of major brand. The original American version premiered in 2013 on Oxygen. The series is now an international franchise, with adaptations worldwide. Naomi Campbell is executive producer, serves as a supermodel coach, and chooses supermodel mentors for the American, British and Australian adaptations. The show is well received in Asia, with Vietnam and Thailand both producing multiple seasons. Thailand has also launched a male-centric version of The Face Men and The Hair based on the original show. Vietnam has also launched The Face Online and many other spin-offs. On the other hand, some versions in countries like France, Canada, etc. have been canceled due to lack of investment. The Netherlands also has a show–The Look, but it is not the original format of The Face by Banijay. As of 2025, The Face is present in five countries. Of these, two are still active. The rest are no longer active. The series has also found seventeen The Face–corresponding to seventeen seasons, around the world. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
