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 contrasts the island nation of Tuvalu with Taiwan, exploring how rising sea levels and climate change affect both places. It follows Tuvalu's unique situation as a country predicted to disappear due to global warming, while reflecting on what communities face when their land is threatened.

What happens
《沈沒之島》（英文：Taivalu）是由龍男·以撒克·凡亞思監製，黃信堯導演、攝影的紀錄片，榮獲2011年台北電影節最佳紀錄片，以及電影節的百萬首獎。 此片紀錄太平洋上的小島國吐瓦魯，一個被聯合國宣告在不久的將來，會因全球暖化而第一個消失的國家；吐瓦魯雖國土面積不大，人口數量亦遠不及臺灣，然而卻有與眾國不同的經歷和未來。此片對比友邦吐瓦魯與臺灣，兩個地方在全球環境變遷、海平面上漲之下的影響。 “本來要拍沉沒之島，現在卻變成ㄕㄣˇㄇㄟˊ之島。”導演黃信堯說明，「沈沒」二字是由「沉沒」兩字變形而來，「沈」和「沉」在繁體裡是同一個字，代表換一個角度、換一種思維，在這部新的紀錄片裡佔有極其重要的地位。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
