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 follows the Brazilian government's pacification of Rio de Janeiro's largest slum, Rocinha, before the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. After the peaceful takeover, reports of police abuse surface, including the disappearance of a local bricklayer. The film shows how residents organize protests against the brutal oppression.
