The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 cartoonist finds an old tape recording of herself as a child while packing for a move. The film pairs her present-day voice with her childhood narration, using simple animation to show how she saw the world. It asks whether childhood memories are as sweet as we remember them.
