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.

What happens

《独行》是一部於2018年上映的中國大陸紀錄片,亦是中國大陸首部獨立遊戲題材紀錄片,主要記錄了5個獨立遊戲開發團隊的故事。影片由梁铁欣發起,陈鹤庭擔任導演,黃毅負責監製,耗時兩年拍攝。評論員指出影片具有一定觀影門檻,非遊戲行業工作者,可能較難理解影片內容。此外,該片缺乏明確主題和劇情引導,觀影體驗較為沉悶。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
