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

Daughter of the Sun is a Canadian drama film, directed by Ryan Ward and released in 2023. A sequel to his 2009 film Son of the Sunshine, the film revisits the story of Sonny (Ward), who is still dealing with Tourette syndrome and living on the run from the events of the first film with his teenage daughter Hildie (Nyah Perkin). The film premiered at the 2023 Fantasia Film Festival, where it received the bronze medal as second runner-up in audience voting on the Best Canadian Feature Film lineup. It was subsequently screened at film festivals including the 2023 Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival, and the 2024 Canadian Film Festival.
