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

《오! 꿈의 나라》는 장산곶매가 1989년 발표한 16밀리 독립 영화이다. 광주 민주화 운동을 본격적으로 다룬 장편 영화였다. 표현의 자유가 억압되어 있던 1980년대 초에 대학가의 영화동아리를 중심으로 일어난 사회고발적 '작은영화운동'의 한 결실이었다. 광주 민주화 운동과 그 배후로 지목한 미국에 대한 인식이 이전과 달리 뚜렷하고 혁신적이라는 평이 있다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
