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.
How it feels
Four short films, each with different directors and characters, explore everyday moments in Tamil Nadu. The stories range from humorous to poignant, focusing on ordinary people and their relationships.
