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
Jafar Panahi, banned from making films in Iran, drives a taxi through Tehran and picks up various passengers. Their conversations reveal slices of life and perspectives on society under restrictions.

What happens
Taxi (full title Jafar Panahi's Taxi; Persian: تاکسی), also known as Taxi Tehran, is a 2015 Iranian docufiction starring and directed by Jafar Panahi. The film premiered in competition at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Bear and the FIPRESCI Prize. As Panahi has been banned – since 2010 – by the Government of Iran from making films and traveling abroad, his niece Hana Saeidi, who also appears in the film, collected the award on his behalf.
