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 set in a mental asylum in a remote Russian village. The residents drift silently through old wooden buildings and snowy landscapes, barely interacting with the world around them. No one speaks, and the film observes their muted existence without explanation.
