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
An eight year old boy and his mother travel to Ivory Coast during a war. The mother wants to visit her father's grave and reconnect with family. The boy knows Africa only through stories, and both experience belonging and alienation on this trip.
