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

An elderly ski lift operator in Bolivia watches the glaciers disappear from the mountains where his family has lived and worked for generations. He continues to pay respect to the mountain spirits even as scientists study the changes and the snow fails to come.
