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
A documentary about comics uses a fictional frame story where a supervillain hires a private eye to research the cultural impact of comic books. The film mixes real interviews with illustrators and a silly plot about world domination.
