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 is made from footage shot by amateurs, news crews, and the revolutionaries themselves during the Romanian revolution of 1989. It shows how the revolution looked as it was being filmed, and how the images themselves became part of the event.
