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 11-year-old Khoi girl is taken from her tribe to work for Jan van Riebeeck at the Dutch fort in 1652. She grows up to become a translator but is rejected by her own people as she tries to connect two cultures.
