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

A Canadian experimental film from 1993 deconstructs film techniques and medical science through ten pseudo-educational sequences. It uses recycled archival footage to expose stereotypes in mass culture and highlights the conflict between scientific progress and human weakness.
