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 post-World War II traffic safety films made by the Highway Safety Foundation. It looks at how these films used graphic accident footage to scare teenagers into driving safely and explores the cultural impact of that approach.
