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

Il raconte l'histoire d'un jeune éléphant nommé Niok qui vit au Cambodge. E. Séchan avait longtemps le sujet en tête, il est donc allé au Cambodge et a reconnu tout de suite le cadre idéal pour son Niok. Il voulait faire un film pour les enfants et raconter une histoire vraie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
