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

This documentary looks at how the United States and other Western powers shaped China's national identity from the 1911 revolution through World War One. It argues that understanding those past events is important for predicting China's current and future path as a superpower.

What happens

《失去中國嘅人》(The Men Who Lost China)係一部由電影導演米奇 · 安德森喺美國製作嘅英文紀錄片,喺2013年上映,探討咗喺1911年中國革命同第一次世界大戰啲時期度,美國整體對中國嘅取態,同埋其他西方國家嘅取態點樣去影響、塑造咗中國嘅國族身份認同,特別係佢嘅外交政策,兼同前蘇聯嘅結盟。 概覽 當現時嘅中國正獲得無可爭議嘅超級大國地位,世界媒體仍然對佢嘅意圖作出猜測。呢套紀錄片表明,任何值得嘅預測都必須植根於對過去事件嘅認真研究,以及對西方同中國對呢啲事件嘅睇法,所作嘅理解。美國參與咗1911年中國辛亥革命,以及第一次世界大戰後西方國家對中國嘅背叛,係呢部紀錄片探討嘅中國現代史上兩個最關鍵嘅事件。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
