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.

What happens

Tokyo Love Stories er en film instrueret af Tim Hinman og Miriam Nielsen. En poetisk film om nutidig japansk kærlighed. 7 personer, der kun har det tilfælles, at de alle lever i Tokyo, en by med 11 millioner indbyggere, fortæller vidt forskellige historier om kærlighed: Kærlighed ved første blik, spirituel kærlighed eller mangel på kærlighed. Stiliserede intense portrætter af Tokyos indbyggere, og et stærkt visuelt indtryk af gader og bygninger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
