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.

What happens

The film was inspired by Rick Hansen's 1986 Man in Motion Tour's true story that challenged perceptions about disability. In the movie, Rick Hansen, a disabled athlete, attempts to prove the potential of people with disabilities and inspire a more accessible world by embarking on a 26-month journey that leads him to China and "The Great Wall."
