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.

How it feels

What happens

《香江花月夜》(英語:Hong Kong Graffiti),是一部1995年上映的香港時裝音樂電影,由資深音樂人泰迪羅賓身兼監製、導演、配樂及主演,其他主要演員包括鄭嘉穎、曹永廉、陳藝鳴,亦是三人首次演出電影。故事橫跨1960至1990年代,以一家夜總會與當中的駐唱歌手為主線,反映香港社會與流行音樂文化的變遷。但在票房及口碑上皆不成功,泰迪羅賓在此後多年未有再執導電影,直至2010年代。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
