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
Two old friends talk about filmmaking, especially one of them who made a classic Australian documentary in the 1950s. Meanwhile the real life outback mailman from that film retraces his mail route across the desert many years later.
