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

Crumbs is a 2015 Ethiopian post-apocalyptic science fiction romance film. It is the first feature film from Spanish-born director Miguel Llansó. Filmed around Dallol, Ethiopia on a budget of $225,000, Crumbs "takes an exotic and sometimes surreal approach to what's essentially a simple, touching love story". It premiered at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, as well as the Nightfall Jury Mention at the 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival and the Award for Best First Feature Film at the 2015 Fantasia International Film Festival.
