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

How it feels

During the Mao era, Tibetan locals initially doubt the Chinese Communist Party but eventually unite with them to fight a common enemy. The film is based on a novel from the same period.

What happens

Five Color Road (Wu Cai Lu), ook wel The Rainbow Road of Colourful Road is een Chinees filmdrama uit 1960. De film is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman van Hu Qi uit 1959. De film is een van de voorbeelden uit het Mao-tijdperk rondom de eerste ontmoetingen tussen Tibet en China. De films van tussen 1953 en 1964 met dit thema volgen een vergelijkbare verhaallijn waarbij vijanden van de Chinese Communistische Partij (CCP) zorgen voor een lokaal conflict in Tibet en omgeving. De Tibetanen sluiten na enige twijfel en verwarring zich aan bij de CCP om een front te vormen tegen de gezamenlijke vijand. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
