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 explores the Japanese art of shunga, or erotic prints. It follows the surprising success of an exhibition that was rejected by many Japanese museums but drew huge crowds, examining how Japanese society handles this art form.

What happens

『春画と日本人』（しゅんがとにほんじん）は、2019年9月28日に公開された日本のドキュメンタリー映画。2015年9月に永青文庫で開幕し、ロンドンの大英博物館で高い評価を受けた「春画展」、海外では高い評価を得ているのに、開催しようとすると国内の公私立博物館２０館あまりに開催の打診が断られ、これが逆風になって21万人の観客が押し寄せた展覧会を巡って、「春画」を人の目から隠そうとする日本社会の微妙な忖度の構造を描いたもの。 大墻（おおがき）敦が監督を務めている。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
