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 interviews Black actors past and present about working in Italian cinema. It uses archival clips and modern interviews to show their experiences with stereotyping and their fight for better roles. The film connects these stories to a push for more diversity in the industry today.
