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

A documentary about the extravagant five-day party the Shah of Iran threw in 1971 to celebrate 2,500 years of Persian monarchy. The film shows how the opulent event, with world leaders and lavish shows, increased public anger against his rule.
