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 uses reenacted scenes to follow a group of Jewish refugees who fled Austria in 1940 on the steamship Atlantic. The Nazis initiated and approved their escape, but the refugees were denied entry to Palestine and ended up on the island of Mauritius.
