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
The film weaves documentary and fiction to follow Derik Lynch as he moves between his Indigenous community and the city. Through memory and reenactment, it shows his experience of living in two different cultural worlds.

What happens
Marungka tjalatjunu (Dipped in black) is a 2022 Australian hybrid docufiction film, created by Matthew Thorne and Derik Lynch. Through memory, re-creation, and documentary, the film tells the story of Derik's life navigating the whitefella and blackfella worlds. The film is voiced almost entirely in Yankunytjatjara, an Aboriginal Australian language that is the first language of South Australian artist and performer Derik Lynch. It is the first Australian film to do so. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
