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 two Ukrainian families torn apart by war. A wealthy young lawyer volunteers for the front and is killed at Donetsk airport, followed by his mother. What remains is the grandfather, the granddaughter, and a sense of hope.
