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 covers the 1977-78 occupation of Bastion Point in Auckland by Maori protesters. It shows the daily life at the protest camp and the standoff with authorities. The filmmakers capture the community's determination and the government's response over many months.
