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.

What happens
Damned in the USA é um documentário britânico de 1991 dirigido por Paul Yule sobre a censura na América. Nos Estados Unidos, o financiamento do governo para as artes nunca foi popular entre os membros mais conservadores do Congresso, e aos populistas tem um odor desagradável de elitismo. O filme cobre o julgamento de um diretor do museu de Cincinnati pela exibição de fotos de Robert Mapplethorpe, e debates sobre o financiamento do National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
