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
A Danish filmmaker and her husband leave their stressful life to live with a monk in the mountains of Sri Lanka. The monk tries to control the film project and it falls apart, but after the monk dies his son wants to restart the movie to understand why his father left him as a child.

What happens
Munken er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2022 instrueret af Mira Jargil og Christian Sønderby Jepsen. I 2015 beslutter Mira Jargil og hendes mand at trække stikket på deres stressede hverdag og rejse til Sri Lanka, for at leve hos en munk langt ude i bjergene. Mira og munken aftaler at lave en film, men det hele tager en uventet drejning da munken vil kontrollere og styre alt, inklusiv film projektet som ender med at kollapse. 6 år senere begår munken selvmord og hans søn ønsker nu at starte filmen op igen. Sønnen ønsker svar på hvorfor hans far forlod ham som barn. Hvad søgte han derude I junglen? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
