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

Two filmmakers travel the route of the 1947 UN partition line through Palestine and Israel. They talk to people from different backgrounds about their lives and the region's history. The film is a collection of these encounters and the landscapes along the way.
