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

Three adult daughters of Japanese war brides recall their mothers' lives in 1950s America. The women came as wives of American GIs and faced racial isolation and difficulty. The daughters share their mothers' dreams and struggles from their own mixed-race perspectives.
