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 Raymond Luc Levasseur, a former political prisoner and FBI Most Wanted fugitive, from his childhood in a French Canadian family in Maine through his years of radical activism and imprisonment. After his release, he reflects on how growing up as a working class French speaker in a small mill town shaped his rebellion and life choices.
