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

《非常婚事》(英語:A Fantastic Ghost Wedding,前名《小靈媒》Little Medium Boy,香港片名《冥婚啟示》Revelation of Ghost Marriage)是一部台湾、香港、马来西亚、新加坡合作投資的電影。由香港票房女王和金马影后吴君如和新马最受欢迎电影男主角李国煌领銜主演的首部合作电影作品。这是一部具文化色彩的另类电影。当一个在哀悼死去的儿子的前歌手/母亲找上一对灵媒父子帮她寻找媳妇的当儿,使他们各自有了不同的领悟,而因此改变了他们每一个人的命运和人生观。围绕着亲情和死亡的题材,这个简单的故事展现出既有趣和感人的情节,反映出华人社会对待死亡的微妙情怀和父子、母子、夫妻之间、甚至自己和自己的关系。由新加坡導演王明操刀,全片在新加坡拍摄。影片获得香港亚洲电影节2014 - 亚洲新导演奖提名, 并将于电影节特别献映。 接着将于2014年11月20日起在各地上映。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
