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 travels across the world from Canada to Africa and the Pacific Islands. It shows how people create statues, masks, and other objects to gain power, tell stories, connect with ancestors, and express their many selves.

What happens
L'Invention du monde est un documentaire français réalisé par Michel Zimbacca et Jean-Louis Bédouin et sorti en . Du grand nord canadien à la savane africaine, du Mexique aux îles du Pacifique, partout l'homme forge des images, statues, objets divers au moyen desquels il acquiert des forces, raconte son histoire, se relie à ses ancêtres et exprime toutes les natures qui sont en lui : totems haidas, figurines hopi, masques dans toutes leurs variations, sculptures mayas... Homme et femme, parfois animal ou oiseau, l'humain agit sur le monde et s'inscrit dans les transformations permanentes du cosmos. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
