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 26 minute documentary shows rural life in the Monegros region of Spain, a semidesert area. It follows a sociological study of the difficult living conditions there, similar to Luis Buñuel's earlier film on a similarly hard region.
