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 uses archival footage and new material to examine how rats have shaped the city of Baltimore. It connects the history of pest control with issues of segregation and inequality. The film builds its argument through a collage of images and sounds rather than a traditional narrative.
