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

Indigo Grey: The Passage is a 2015 American science fiction film directed by Sean Robinson and written and produced by Jason Oremus and Garrett Coleman. It features Aidan Lok, neo-Irish dance troupe Hammerstep, and has received international attention for its soundtrack composed by Amy Lee, Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer. ABC News announced the release of the film on September 15, 2015: "Evanescence's Amy Lee Composes Score to Short Film, 'Indigo Grey: The Passage.'" Robinson told Billboard on November 4, 2015: "Amy's involvement is what really catapulted the project, lending it more visibility than we expected. This film is about taking risks and exploring the lines between fantasy and reality, and by daring to embrace the unknown, we are empowered to experience a catharsis beyond the realm of convention." Rolling Stone interviewed Lee about the film November 5, 2015, publishing an article titled: "Evanescence singer-keyboardist Amy Lee realizes her long-term goal of film scoring with the soundtrack to sci-fi short "Indigo Grey: The Passage." Shortly after, ABC News quoted Lee on her score for the film: "Evanescence's Amy Lee Talks Composing Music for Choreography: "That Is Sort of Anti-Rock"" Out Magazine announced on January 8, 2016 that the film would be premiering at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. IrishCentral reviewed the film January 14, 2016 "Brilliant short film combines Irish dance and martial arts" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
