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

《낮은 목소리 3 - 숨결》은 대한민국의 다큐멘터리 영화이다. 일본군 위안부 할머니들에 관한 변영주 감독의 다큐멘터리 <낮은 목소리> 3부작의 완결편. 7년 작업의 매듭으로써 1, 2편이 고통의 기원을 거쳐 할머니들의 일상으로 나왔다면, <숨결>은 다시 그들의 일상을 빌려 과거로 들어간다. 61년 만에 고향을 찾은 할머니, 위안소에서 매독에 걸려 청각장애자인 딸을 낳은 할머니의 회한이 흘러나온다. 내레이션이나 음악 따위의 장치를 지워내고 할머니들 스스로 그들의 이야기를 하게 함으로써 가혹한 역사 속에 뭉개진 그들의 목소리를 나지막히 되살려냈다.
