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 filmed stage musical tells the story of a working class boy who discovers a passion for ballet. It follows his struggle to pursue dance despite his family's disapproval and the social pressures of 1980s England.
