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

Two Aboriginal families in Australia live a traditional lifestyle focused on gathering food. The women collect grass seeds to make flour for bread, and the group also eats grubs, lizards, and fruit. Their only modern interaction is a trip to a government compound for water.
