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
During a mysterious global blackout, a group of misfit clowns and a struggling journalist get caught up in a series of absurd events across Ireland. A depressed clown, a horror clown, a traditional circus clown, a mime, and a clickbait writer must deal with the chaos together.

What happens
Apocalypse Clown is a 2023 Irish comedy film. Set during an electricity outage in Ireland, it follows the depressed clown Bobo (David Earl), the horror movie–style clown Funzo (Natalie Palamides), the circus clown The Great Alphonso (Ivan Kaye), the mime artist Pepe (Fionn Foley) and the clickbait writer Jenny (Amy De Bhrún). The film was written by the comedy troupe Dead Cat Bounce and directed by George Kane; they previously worked together on the 2012 mockumentary Discoverdale. It was filmed on a low budget in Dublin, Kildare and County Wicklow over three weeks. After winning Best Irish Film at an international film festival, the Galway Film Fleadh, it was released in cinemas on 1 September 2023. Critics praised the casting, particularly of Palamides, but had mixed opinions on the writing and comedy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
