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
A teenager becomes so devoted to his school's industrial arts class that his obsession begins to unsettle those around him. This short film follows his unusual enthusiasm as it takes over his life.
