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 filmmaker reflects on his own childhood as an adoptee who never knew his biological father, and how that shapes his current relationship with his own daughter, who lives far away with her mother. The film is a personal essay about the distance and longing in a father-daughter bond.
