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 Vietnam's drug rehabilitation methods in the early 1980s. It focuses on the country's approach to treating addiction among its citizens, many of whom became addicts during the Vietnam War. Three Australian women filmmakers gained rare access to film this process.
