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 explores a forgotten Korean women's musical tradition from the 1950s and 60s where women performed all roles including male parts. It traces the passion of young female fans who went to great lengths to see these performances and asks why this cultural phenomenon vanished from memory.
