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 film recreates the forced relocation of Malaysian Chinese into guarded camps by British forces in the 1940s and 1950s. It shows how these camps later became the unique Chinese new villages that exist today. The story focuses on the human experience during this period.

What happens

《新村1949》，又称《新村》，是一部由黃巧力导演的电影，也是马来西亚第一部中文史诗电影。这部电影耗资3百万令吉的制作费，橫跨4個州屬的新村進行拍攝工作，把英军40年代末至50年代將马来亚華人趕到集中營进行聚集與管制，而後形成了現在獨有的華人新村特色歷史重現。这部电影在2013年8月22日在马来西亚的多家戏院上映。但因电影里有关于马来亚共产党（马共）的内容 ，使这部电影后来在马来西亚被禁播。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
