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

A horror film told through found footage. It follows characters whose experiences raise more questions than answers.

What happens

?: A Question Mark is a 2012 Hindi language horror film written and directed by Allyson Patel and Yash Dave, and produced by Trippletake Motion Pictures. It was distributed by Percept Picture Company. The film received nine nominations and two awards at the St. Tropez International Film Festival in France. Akhlaque Khan won the best actor award while Udhaya Rajni won the award for best editing. The film also received a standing ovation at the Oaxaca Film Festival in Mexico. The producers wanted to use just the symbol "?" as the film's title, as a symbol for the unseen, unheard story. However, the movie had to be released with a written title due to censorship rules, so it was called "Question Mark." It delves into the found footage genre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
