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 tells the story of Minik, an Inuit boy taken from Greenland by explorer Robert Peary in the late 1800s. It traces his journey and how his displacement connects to the contemporary lives of polar Inuit communities.

Mene Wallace s’appelait Minik. Arraché à son peuple à l’âge de six ans par l’illustre explorateur Peary, Minik connaîtra un destin incroyable. Sur les terres de son enfance, à Qaanaaq-Thulé (extrême nord du Groenland), Minik raconte son histoire... L'histoire d'un déracinement qui fait écho à la vie actuelle des Inuits polaires.
