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

The Neighbors Dog is a Canadian music performance television series, which premiered on SCN in 2009. Created by Darryl Kessler and John Mills of Plan 9 Films, the series featured musicians performing private house concerts in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The show aired three seasons before SCN was acquired by Rogers Sports & Media and rebranded as Citytv Saskatchewan, and returned for one further season as a Citytv program. In the Citytv season, the show's length expanded from a half-hour to a full hour, with the format transitioning from an entirely performance-based show to one that mixed both performance clips and interview segments. Kessler received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Photography in a Variety or Sketch Comedy Program or Series at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015, for the fourth season episode featuring Daniel Romano.
