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
This documentary examines the life and final projects of Japanese poet and playwright Shuji Terayama. It focuses on his unpermitted street theater performance from 1975 and the play he was planning before his death. Through interviews with former troupe members, it traces how his childhood in Aomori shaped his work and looks at a photograph he kept his whole life.

What happens
『あしたはどっちだ、寺山修司』（あしたはどっちだ、てらやましゅうじ）は、2017年の日本のドキュメンタリー映画。 寺山修司は「最後に市街劇をもう一度やりたい。」という言葉を残して47歳で亡くなる。 1975年、寺山は主宰する演劇実験室「天井桟敷」の手で、一切の許可をとらず、杉並区一帯で30時間のゲリラ市街劇「ノック」を上演し、劇団員が逮捕される事件を起こす。 元劇団員など関係者への取材から、寺山が最後に構想した市街劇は、住民の意識を操作する危険な実験であり、寺山の創作の原点は、少年時代を過ごした青森県三沢市に起因することが、浮かび上がる。 やがて、寺山が、生涯大事にしていた1枚の古い写真が紹介される。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
