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

Still Processing is a 2020 Canadian short documentary film, directed by Sophy Romvari. Made as her thesis project while she was pursuing her MFA in film at York University, the film explores her family's unresolved grief over the deaths of her two older brothers through the process of digitizing a box of old films, photographs and undeveloped photographic negatives of them throughout their lives. The film premiered at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival, and was then screened at numerous film festivals around the world. The film was later released on streaming services such as Mubi and The Criterion Channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
