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 explores the Japanese live house scene where small underground venues host bands outside the mainstream pop culture. It shows how these musicians build international followings through DIY methods and the internet, and it follows punk pioneer Mike Watt as he visits these spaces.
