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

"헤드폰을 벗어라"는 1995년에 개봉한 대한민국의 영화이고 남기남 감독은 빠르게 높아지는 관객들의 눈높이와 갈수록 격차가 벌어져 해당 작품 등 영화 연출을 맡은 작품이 연속 실패했으며 1996년 개봉 예정이었으나 이런저런 사정 탓인지 1998년으로 바뀐 《천년환생》의 실패 뒤 한동안 영화 연출 활동을 잠정 중단했고 우여곡절 끝에 <너 없는 나>로 영화 연출 활동을 재개했지만 개봉이 되지 못하기도 했는데 그나마 1998년 남기남 감독이 연출한 영화 중 극장 개봉한 것은 《천년환생》이 유일했다.
