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
Fikr wa Talash is an Afghan television programme, presented by Ramiz Baktiar. The format of the show is owned by Sony Pictures Television and is based on the original Japanese programme, Tigers of Money, which has been adapted worldwide into the popular Dragons Den/Shark Tank franchise. The programme was produced by NGO Bamyan Media. The show premiered on TOLO TV in 2008, after the success of Afghan Star, a reality television programme. The show's name, Fikr wa Talash, translates to Dream and Achieve in English. The show's purpose was to encourage Afghans to embark on entrepreneurship. It aimed to promote entrepreneurial spirit among ordinary Afghans, with the show giving contestants a lifetime opportunity to pitch their creative business ideas before a panel of business tycoons and walk away with the cash prize of $20,000 USD.
