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

This documentary follows students at a top middle school in Chongqing, China, as they are trained for success in the global economy. The children are from the new Chinese middle class, and their parents, who lived through hardship, expect them to achieve what they could not. The film asks whether these young people are a threat or a promise to the world.
