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
It takes place in the late 1950s in a small Karoo town. A simple middle-aged man, whose mind never grew beyond childhood innocence, loses his father. His father's will leaves everything to be split between Faan and the church, and greed tears the community apart until love brings them back to their senses.

What happens
Faan se Trein is ’n 2014-rolprent gebaseer op die verhoogstukke, Faan se Trein en Faan se Stasie, deur Pieter Fourie. Dit speel af in die laat vyftigerjare en gaan oor ’n eenvoudige middeljarige man op ’n klein Karoodorpie wat nooit verby die onskuld en eenvoud van ’n jong kind ontwikkel het nie. Wanneer sy pa sterf, los hy al sy besittings om tussen Faan en die kerk verdeel te word. Onmiddellik verskeur gierigheid die gemeenskap… totdat liefde hulle weer tot hulle sinne bring. Die rolprent is gebaseer op die gelyknamige toneelstuk wat in 1970 deur Pieter Fourie geskryf is. Tydens die openingsnaweek het dit R1,4 miljoen by die loket verdien, toe sowat 32 000 mense daarna gaan kyk het. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
