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
This documentary visits villagers in Malaysia and asks them about their lives. It uses a famous song as a framing device to connect their stories. The filmmaker travels to different communities and simply listens to what people have to say.

Like its predecessor The Last Communist, it was banned in its home country but screened in several international film festivals. It premiered at the Berlinale in 2006. The title (Malay: "How are the villagers doing?") is a reference to a famous song by Sudirman Arshad of the same name that is used in both the opening and closing credits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
