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 shows the wheat harvest across western Canada in the 1950s. It follows the grain from the fields through combines, trucks, elevators, trains, and ships, with stops for grading and inspection. The film also covers scientific work on hardier wheat and shows bread being made in a large bakery.
