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 recounts the intersecting paths of a South African barefoot runner and an American track star leading up to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. It focuses on the political and media pressures that surrounded both women and the infamous collision in the 3,000-meter race.
