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

《餘生—賽德克·巴萊》(英語:Pusu Qhuni),原名《餘生》,是一部由湯湘竹執導的2013年紀錄片。本片以霧社事件為本,訪談遺族、歷史學者與紀錄賽德克族人追尋祖靈發源地「Pusu Qhuni」的過程。本片獲第50屆金馬獎最佳紀錄片、最佳音效兩項提名。由於導演湯湘竹此前擔任魏德聖《賽德克·巴萊》之製作團隊以及片名、出品單位的互相關聯,亦被視為《賽德克·巴萊》的系列電影。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
