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 Japanese film follows a girl as she grows into a woman and eventually becomes a mother. The story is told through a poetic and geometric interweaving of time and color set against Japan's grand seasonal landscapes.
