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

A young filmmaker retraces a famous writer's journey through Asia, but finds a present-day landscape marked by conflict and change, far from the carefree world documented decades ago. Disheartened, he leaves the original route to travel with nomads and discovers a more personal way to understand the writer's philosophy.
