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 traces how American painters took inspiration from French impressionists to create their own style. It links their art to a love of gardens and a wish to preserve nature as American cities grew. The film visits gardens and studios in the US, UK and France.
