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

In 1978, the Queensland government tried to take over management of an Aboriginal reserve. The Aurukun people opposed this because they trusted the church more and feared the state wanted their bauxite. The film shows what happened during the three weeks that followed.
