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 follows the horseshoe crab and local fishermen in Kinmen, Taiwan as their coastal habitat is destroyed by a land reclamation project for a commercial port. It shows how the environmental loss is tied to political tensions between Taiwan and China.

What happens
《刪海經》（英語：The Lost Sea）由導演洪淳修所執導的一部紀錄片，歷時五年完成，拍攝地為金門縣後豐港。片名發想自記載怪物故事的中國古籍《山海經》，取其諧音為「刪」海經，來隱喻海中一種名為鱟的古生物，因水頭商港的填海造陸工程，導致海洋整個被填平，最後使鱟與漁人失去海洋的故事。該片觸及的不只是生態環境議題，更以政治經濟的角度來看待鱟，思考台海兩岸之間在政治上的矛盾關係，是拍攝鱟相關紀錄片中少見的影片觀點。影片發表後獲多項國內外獎項肯定。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
