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 film is made from thousands of video clips submitted by people around the world, all recorded on a single day in July 2010. It shows ordinary moments from many different lives, from morning routines to unexpected events. The result is a collective portrait of a single day on Earth.
