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 teenage girl in 1960s Brussels skips school and wanders the city with a boy she meets. They talk about politics, art, and their own desires over the course of a few days.

What happens
Portrait of a Young Girl at the End of the 60s in Brussels (French: Portrait d'une jeune fille de la fin des années 60 à Bruxelles) is a 1994 television film by Belgian feminist and avant-garde filmmaker Chantal Akerman. It is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story with feminist and LGBT themes. The film was created for Arte's nine-part series Tous les garcons et les filles de leur âge (All the Boys and Girls of Their Age). The series, which belongs to le jeune cinéma français (the Young French Cinema) movement of the 1990s, has been described as "'enormously influential" by the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound magazine.
