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

Roger Waters: The Wall is a British concert film by Roger Waters. Directed by Waters and Sean Evans, it captures performances of Waters' live tour. It premiered in the Special Presentations section of the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, with Waters and Evans in attendance. The concert design and execution draws heavily from the original concert of the same name that followed the release of the Pink Floyd album The Wall (1979). In addition to the 90 minutes of music, the film also contains interspersed documentary and interview footage taken from a road trip in Europe, with Waters driving an old Bentley. Waters is also seen reading from John Berger's introduction to Fear, the English translation of Gabriel Chevallier's novel, La Peur. The audio is presented in 7.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos.
