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

《台北二一》（英語：Taipei 21），台灣導演楊順清繼《扣扳機》之後的第二部電影作品，劇情以跨入21世紀、面臨經濟蕭條的台北都會為背景，勾繪出現代青年男女在高物價與低收入之雙重現實壓力下之都會愛情生活故事。本片榮獲第四十九屆亞太影展最佳影片獎之殊榮。 如果說楊德昌導演的《青梅竹馬》是1980年代城鄉變遷中台北壯年男女的切片，那麼楊順清導演的《台北二一》就是二十一世紀經濟不景氣中台北青年男女的樣本。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
