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 is about the No Wave Cinema movement in late 1970s New York City. It looks at how punk rockers made do-it-yourself films in the downtown scene. The director interviews the people who were there.

What happens
Blank City es un documental estadounidense de 2010, dirigido por Celine Danhier, acerca de la escena punk rock a finales de los años 1970 en el centro de la ciudad de Nueva York, donde se vivió una oleada de cine independiente do it yourself conocida como el movimiento No Wave Cinema. La directora, Danhier, comentó en una entrevista: «Si googleas "No Wave filmmakers" no obtienes muchos resultados. En Wikipedia tiene solo un par de párrafos. Es una locura, porque fue el comienzo del movimiento del cine independiente. Esos cineastas eran genios y crearon algunas de las películas más osadas de su generación, así que yo tenía que hacer algo al respecto y mostrar esas cintas». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
