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
A film professor at a provincial university searches for his identity. The story unfolds with quiet, poetic imagery.

What happens
《새는 폐곡선을 그린다》(영어: The Bird Who Stops in the Air)는 지방 대학 영화과 교수로 재직 중인 주인공이 자신의 정체성을 찾아나가는 과정을 시적 영상에 잔잔하게 담아 낸 작품으로 1999년 이탈리아 베네치아 국제 영화제 "새로운 분야" 부문 초청에 이어 2000년 스위스 프리부그 영화제에서 대상을 차지했으나 극장을 확보하지 못해 개봉을 미뤄오다가 2002년 3월 1일 국내에 첫 공개하였다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
