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

老鷹想飛，(英文：Fly, Kite Fly)，由梁皆得導演所執導的紀錄片。以「老鷹先生」沈振中老師追索老鷹生態的生涯歷程為影片核心，探討台灣黑鳶的生態處境。 「老鷹先生」沈振中原為生物教師，投入觀察黑鳶生態的工作，1991年發現基隆外木山黑鳶群體因棲地遭受破壞而消失，觸動他發心，毅然決然放棄穩定的教職，全力投入觀察工作。他家徒四壁，靠著家族成員的支持，堅苦卓絕從事黑鳶保育工作，長達20年，直至2011年退休。 經由台灣猛禽研究會支持，由研究者林惠珊帶領著原先參與的調查員、國立屏東科技大學野生動物保育研究所鳥類生態研究室的研究生及猛禽研究會會員等等，繼續普查黑鳶的族群，研究其生態行為。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
