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 documentary that blends a fictional 21st century outbreak scenario with the true story of the 1885 smallpox epidemic in Montreal. It shows how authorities face social unrest, ethnic scapegoating, and economic collapse while trying to contain a deadly infection.
