The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

As an older man, Willie Buckland explains to a friend why he and his wife return yearly to hear church chimes. In his youth, he loved a gypsy girl named Jane. After his father died, he fell for a dying woman in the city and stayed with her. Penniless and ill, Jane found and nursed him back to health. She then challenged him to find her in one year. He arrived at the village as chimes rang and found her with their children.
