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 a migrant family from an indigenous Andean community as they return to Peru to sponsor a patron saint fiesta they first organized twenty years ago. It also shows them taking part in the same celebration in Maryland, where they now live. The film looks at how their culture continues across distance and generations, while also showing the changes brought by global economics and family differences.
