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 a fishing village, a scrapped boat is cremated. Old fishing boats dream of deep-sea fish and fishermen, while the specter of a young girl drifts through the imagery. The film invites viewers into a daydream of fleeting, wave-like scenes.
