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 documentary about the Eter family living on a housing estate in Australia after a violent incident involving racial slurs leaves their teenage son Billal in a coma. It follows the family as they try to get the government to move them away from the suburb where the driver of the car still lives.
