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

This film follows a family dealing with emotional distance through small everyday events. The children's innocent actions bring both warm smiles and moments that show their sadness and loneliness.

What happens

《擁抱大白熊》(英語:Bear Hug)是王小棣導演於2004年所拍攝的一部描寫親子關係的电影,以生活上的小事情,探討現代家庭的疏離感。片中小孩的舉動天真爛漫,充滿不少溫馨的場面,能讓人會心一笑,但也以不少情節敘述小孩孤單寂寞時的反應與神情,令人為之動容。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
