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 documentary portrait of Kelvin, a single man in his 40s living in St. Kilda. He finds meaning through his passions for born again Christianity, physical culture, and German/Jewish history, and the film shows his life through his interactions with friends who share his interests.
