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 is made entirely from dashcam footage of wild and dangerous situations on Russian roads. It shows big crashes and near misses, but also the calm and strange way people react to them. It gives a look at Russian character through extreme driving moments.
