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 Cambodian journalist spends a decade seeking out former Khmer Rouge leaders and foot soldiers to understand the massacre of nearly two million people. He interviews them face to face, asking why they killed and how they live with the memories.
