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

Five Palestinian elders living in Australia share their memories of life in Palestine before 1948 and their eyewitness accounts of the events of Al Nakba. They describe fleeing their homes as children and young adults, and their ongoing longing for a homeland they could never return to.
