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

《南風》(英語: Riding The Breeze ),2014年於日本上映的的青春公路電影,為台日合拍電影,由台灣觀光局委託日本公司DreamKid製作。由紀培慧、黃河、黑川芽以、郭智博領銜主演。日本於2014年7月12日上映、台灣於2015年9月25日上映。 日本人為感謝台灣對311地震的捐贈,特別透過電影介紹台灣三好;好風景、好食物及好人情味。並把台灣921地震的震央日月潭當成最後的旅行終點,乃希望把311和921做連結,因為921地震第一個抵達台灣的外國救難隊就是來自日本。台日情感就像兄弟親友一樣,互相扶持及協助。2015年3月本片獲得臺灣觀光貢獻獎。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
