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 follows the month-long 2013 street art project by the anonymous artist Banksy in New York City. Each day a new piece appeared around the city, announced on Instagram, ranging from a painted truck full of puppet animals to cheap original paintings sold in Central Park. The film captures the public's reactions and the fleeting nature of the works.

What happens
Banksy Does New York is a 2014 HBO documentary film directed by Chris Moukarbel about Banksy's Better Out Than In project. The documentary covers Banksy's one month residency in October 2013, in which the artist presented a new work of art daily and announced the locations via his Instagram account each morning. Among the artworks filmed and described are a cement sphinx, a truck of moving puppet farm animals driven and parked in front of various New York butchers and meat markets, paintings which were sold for a day in Central Park for $60 each which were then estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the Banality of the Banality of Evil, which portrays a man dressed as a Nazi peacefully sitting and looking out over an already existing landscape from—and then donated back to—a charitable thrift shop.
