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 what happiness means by looking at the lives of people in different parts of the world. The filmmaker travels to various countries to see how culture, environment, and daily routines affect a person's sense of well-being.
