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 King Leopold II of Belgium and how he exploited the Congo as his personal colony in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It examines the brutal methods used to extract resources and the suffering of the Congolese people. The film also considers how this history is remembered today.
