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

An Aboriginal woman cares for her dying white mother, haunted by dreams of a life she never lived. A song about Christianity plays, hinting at the painful history of assimilation. The story ends with the daughter curled up and weeping beside her mother.
