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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

《女性之光》是1937年一套香港的黑白電影，故事講述鄉村女逃離鄉村到城市的生活，反映了當時的華南及自梳文化。由於年代久遠，此電影原本已經失存，直至2012年在一位三藩市的一間戲院地庫中找到電影的膠片，經修復後電影終於能夠重現人間。 Category:1937年香港電影作品 Category:粵語電影 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
