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.

What happens

3.11 A Sense of Home Films is a 2011 anthology film. Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, Naomi Kawase, executive director of the Nara International Film Festival, contacted numerous directors and artists to create short films, each 3 minutes and 11 seconds in length, for a planned anthology.
