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 film mixes documentary elements with dramatic scenes to explore Jack Kerouac's life and work. It looks at his Quebec roots and his role in the cultural shifts of the 1960s. Archival material and interviews help peel back the legend surrounding the author.
