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
This documentary follows Taiwanese soldiers who fought for Japan in World War Two and examines the Japanese military's purge of Chinese people in Malaya. It then shifts to scholars in Japan and Taiwan discussing how this history is remembered differently.

What happens
《由島至島》是一部2024年的台灣紀錄片，由馬來西亞出身的台灣導演廖克發導演執導，於2024年5月11號於台灣國際紀錄片影展首映。本片獲得第26屆台北電影節最佳紀錄片和百萬首獎，以及第61屆金馬獎最佳紀錄長片、最佳音效兩個獎項。 電影首先以台籍日本兵的視角切入第二次世界大戰的東南亞戰場，演員扮演台籍日本兵進行口述，以台籍日本兵的訪談和當地對於台籍日本兵的紀錄為底本，描繪台籍日本兵在二戰時期的活動。在第二段中，則藉由參考文獻記載、當事人訪談、實地考察等方式，揭露第二次世界大戰日軍於馬來半島肅清當地華人的情形。最後，視角再來到日本以及台灣，透過兩地的歷史學者描述對於此事件的不同態度。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
