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 shows interviews with young people who took part in the 1979 Iranian revolution and the 1980 Polish Solidarity movement. It asks what they hoped for and how they felt when their revolutions led to an authoritarian Islamic Republic in Iran or were suppressed in Poland.
