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 that follows people involved with judo competitions. The focus is on the personal interactions and emotions around the pressure of competition rather than the sport itself.

What happens
Tatami est un documentaire français de Camille de Casabianca sorti en salles en septembre 2003. David Douillet a déclaré à propos de ce film : « Dans ce film, il faut ne pas se limiter au judo, ça va bien au-delà. Il n'y a rien de technique, rien de compliqué. Le judo est un fond de tableau, ce qui est important, c'est ce qu'il se passe entre les gens par rapport à une échéance, par rapport à cette guillotine de la compétition. » (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
