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

Professor Martin Rees, the astronomer royal, leads a look at how scientists are searching for alien life. The film explores the idea that intelligent beings in space might not be organic but artificial. It considers what life on other planets could be like and whether we could ever communicate with it.
