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 the arrest of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in London in 1998. It details the efforts of a Spanish prosecutor who built a case against him over 500 days of house arrest. The film shows the legal and political drama as Pinochet eventually returns to Chile without facing trial.
