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 visits city dwellers who keep exotic animals like monkeys and lion cubs as pets. It shows both caring and irresponsible owners, and raises questions about whether it is right for wild animals to lose their natural traits.
