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 the last operating sawmill in Hong Kong as it faces closure due to a government development plan. It shows the mill's final years and the clash between rural industry and urban expansion.

What happens

《木送》（英語：Fallen Treasures）是一部2024年上映的香港獨立製作紀錄片，由韓潔瑤執導。電影耗時五年拍攝與製作，記錄了香港最後一間仍在營運的志記鎅木廠，因政府推行新界東北發展計劃而面臨收地與搬遷的歷程。 志記鎅木廠的歷史可追溯至香港戰後經濟起飛的年代，至1997年後轉型為處理廢棄木材的環保企業。然而，因其廠房位於古洞馬草壟的發展規劃區內，最終被納入清拆範圍。影片透過記錄志記的最後歲月，探討了鄉村工業與城市發展的衝突、環保回收的困境，以及社會對傳統工藝與長者的價值觀等議題。 電影於2024年10月27日在香港亞洲電影節首映，其後於同年12月14日起在香港作有限度放映。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
