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
In 1978, a Japanese high school boy is inspired by Star Wars and convinces his class to make a sci-fi film for their school festival. Over summer vacation, he and his friends work together to shoot their own space movie on 8mm film with a girl from class as the heroine.
