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 is an anthology of three animated short stories. One follows a young boy with a severe egg allergy. Another shows the bond between a mother crab and her son. The third tells the story of an invisible man trying to connect with others.
