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
Ross McElwee sets out to make a documentary about General Sherman's Civil War march through the South but instead turns the camera on his own romantic life and encounters with various women. The film blurs the line between a historical project and a personal diary.
