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

Kapana is a 2019 Namibian gay love story film directed by Philipp Talavera and written by Senga Brockerhoff and Mikiros Garoes. The film follows the story of two young men, George and Simeon, who come from different backgrounds but find love in the city of Windhoek, Namibia. The word kapana comes from preparing raw meat, commonly beef, by grilling it over an open fire; it is frequently sold at open markets. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
