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 contrasts the lives of Irish emigrants in London and New York with the unemployment and poverty in 1980s Ireland. It uses interviews with emigrants and politicians to explore what emigration means, while a stand-up comic performs in different places adding a surreal touch.
