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 surreal short film uses stop-motion animation to show a series of strange and whimsical transformations. Everyday objects and characters morph into one another in a looping, nonsensical sequence.
