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 looks at the fur trade in Canada. It gives equal time to people who support the industry and those who oppose it, including Indigenous trappers, animal rights activists, and furriers. The film follows how a pelt goes from the wild to a coat in a store.
