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
Terry Jones hosts a documentary that traces the history of the number 1 and how it shaped mathematics. The film moves through different cultures and time periods to show how people invented counting.
