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.

What happens

Hashiye Ke Log is an independent film to be produced through crowd funding and Individual Producers. It is going to be the second Directorial film of Pawan K Shrivastava. Hashiye Ke Log is a cinema which tries to capture the marginalized India. This is a story of a man belonging to 'Dalit' community, which forms a major part of India's marginalized millions, showcasing his struggle in standing against oppression and for a dignified life for himself and many others like him. It also takes on the present day growth policy which is majorly exclusionist and has not yielded much for many. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
