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 Taiwanese short film about a person who is replaced by a lookalike. It explores identity and the unsettling consequences of this substitution.

What happens
《替生》（英語：Replace，日語：リプレース）為台灣導演洪馬克的第一部微電影，於2014年7月完成，為「百大影展計劃」的核心參展作品，目前已經在全球21個國際影展裡累積了58個參展紀錄。 因此片帶來的參展經驗，洪馬克衍生出「在全世界推廣台灣短片」的念頭，並進一步催生出後來的福爾摩沙國際電影節，目前已經進入第四屆，並在全球建立起超過30個國際合作單位。 短片《替生：續篇》的籌備工作如火如荼進行中，預計2022下半年拍攝完成，完整《替生》長篇也已經進入籌備期，預計在2023年開拍。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
