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

Insights is a public affairs television program based in Dallas, Texas. Originated by KDFW-TV program director Joe Bell, the show premiered on that station — then a CBS affiliate — on January 6, 1980. Originally focused on African-American issues, the program expanded over the years to cover topics of greater diversity, though the majority of guests continue to be Black. Insights won Emmy Awards in 2001 and 2004 for its episodes "Identity Lost" and "Paternity Fraud" and was nominated in 1997 and 1998 as well. The show also has received the award for best public affairs program in America by the National Association of Black Journalists and the Phoebe Award from the Texas Congress of Parent Teacher Associations.
