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

Revolution of Our Times (Chinese: 時代革命) is a 2021 Hong Kong documentary film directed by Kiwi Chow. The film covers the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests through interviews and footage of the frontline protest scenes. The documentary takes its name from a locally well-known political slogan "liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" which has been ruled as illegal by the Hong Kong High Court. The film had its debut in the 2021 Cannes Film Festival in France and is currently banned in mainland China and Hong Kong. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
