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

What happens
Y hembra es el alma mía es una película documental, estrenada en 1994, de la directora cubana Lizette Vila. El mediometraje explora la vida de las personas transexuales y travestis en Cuba. Es la primera producción cinematográfica de la isla que aborda este tema. La película no tuvo distribución en salas de cine, y no ha tenido una amplia divulgación. Aun así, según su directora, la película abrió una línea de investigación y ayudó a diversas personas a plantearse su identidad de género. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
