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
In the port city of Jaffa, a man facing the loss of his home waits. Two women cling to their houses: one cares for her mother as her home is taken over by an Israeli film crew, the other makes wedding decorations and dreams of love. An old captain sits still in a café all day, while another man paces restlessly. They hold onto hope through small daily rituals.
