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 follows three Palestinian women experiencing different forms of internal exile. One woman returns from an Israeli prison to face family rejection, another lives in a refugee camp relying on her faith, and a Christian woman moves to Gaza but feels like a stranger there. The film shows their perspectives as outsiders within their own society.
