Balik Kampung
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
The film follows people traveling back to their hometowns for holiday celebrations in Malaysia. It shows their journeys and reunions with family.

What happens
Balik Kampung (English: "return to village") is a Malay term used in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei for the massive exodus during festive seasons such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali and Chinese New Year. During this time, migrants or migrant workers return to their hometown or village. In Indonesia, it is known as Pulang Kampung or Mudik. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
