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.

What happens

Thunder in Guyana is a 2003 documentary film directed by Suzanne Wasserman. It chronicles the relationship between the Chicago-born Janet Rosenberg and Cheddi Jagan, a native of Guyana on South America's northern coast, who fell in love, married and set off for the British colony to start a popular socialist revolution, that led them first to jail and later to the Presidency of the nation. Thunder in Guyana was featured in numerous film festivals and more widely in February 2005 on Independent Lens, a series on PBS. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
