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
A young man involved in Hong Kong's LGBT movement feels frustrated and powerless when facing real world setbacks. The short film uses watercolor animation to portray his emotional journey.

What happens
《暗房夜空》（英語：Losing Sight of A Longed Place）是一部香港動畫短片，故事以真人真事為題材，講述一位投身於香港同志運動的年輕人，在現實社會中遭遇到的挫折及所感受到的無力感。動畫短片由來自香港公開大學動畫及視覺特效榮譽藝術學士課程的三名學生所創作，原是作為他們在大學的畢業作品，三名大學生冒著畢業課業被差評的風險，透過動畫嘗試表達在現實社會被認為是非主流的觀點。短片以水彩畫方式描繪故事主人翁的情感，其獨特的表達手法令短片獲提名參與角逐第54屆金馬獎，並且獲選為年度「最佳動畫短片」，是首度有香港動畫短片取得這項殊榮。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
