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

One on One (Korean: 일대일; RR: Ildaeil) is a 2014 South Korean film directed by Kim Ki-duk. It was the opening film of the 11th Venice Days sidebar at the 71st Venice International Film Festival. At the 2014 Busan International Film Festival, Kim said during a stage interview that the film "is based on an incident that took place in recent years menacing democratic rights, but nobody ― no film critic or journalist ― has written a film review mentioning it," then offered ₩10 million to the one who guesses correctly.
