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

《天涼好個秋》（英語：Spring in Autumn）為1980年出品，由李行擔任監製、大眾電影公司發行的台灣電影。陳坤厚擔任導演，侯孝賢則擔任副導演及編劇。本片在淡水河畔、台中市松鶴部落取景，並且不吝以鏡頭關愛周遭環境的人事物，創造出質樸寫實的氛圍。整體風格清新，與70年代最流行的三廳電影不同，可以看出本作具備日後台灣新電影的特質。兩年後，陳坤厚便與侯孝賢、許淑真、張華坤等人合組萬年青電影公司，台灣新電影運動於焉開始。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
