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

The Kiyosu Conference (清須会議, Kiyosu Kaigi) is a 2013 Japanese period comedy film directed by Kōki Mitani. The film is based on a novel of the same name written by Mitani a year prior, itself a reference to the real-life Kiyosu Conference (Kiyosu Kaigi) held on June 27, 1582, the first joint political decision made in Japan.
