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.

How it feels

At midnight in a graveyard, dancing spooks, ghosts, bats and bells move to the music's rhythm. Blue and yellow figures swirl against the black night, with bones playing drums and mist rising. The frenzy ends when a rooster crows and the sun returns everyone to earth.
