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

《1941的聖誕》（英語：Christmas at the Royal Hotel）是一部於2018年上映的香港歷史劇情片，由美籍導演克雷格·麥考瑞（Craig McCourry）自編自導。該片的背景設定在1941年，講述二戰期間「香港保衛戰」的故事，於2018年8月27日、9月12日和9月26日在香港電影資料館電影院播映。据香港電檢部門发放的審查證書，該片在香港僅能放映英文版，且不能配上中文字幕。此舉引發了爭論。電檢部門的理由是片方並未將附有字幕的版本送審。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
