The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

The Uncertainty Has Settled is a documentary about climate, energy and agriculture. Produced and directed by Dutch filmmaker Marijn Poels, the film was released in 2017. The name of the film is an allusion to the assertion that "the science has settled", made by people such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Al Gore. In the film, Poels visits regular climate scientists, as well as individuals who reject climate science, and lets the viewer come to their own conclusions. Those visited include climate deniers Piers Corbyn, British astrophysicist and conspiracy theorist, and British/ American physicist Freeman Dyson. The world premiere of the film took place on 9 February 2017 at the Berlin Independent Film Festival, screening at the historic Kino Babylon, where it won best documentary feature. It also screened at the Mindfield Film Festival Los Angeles, where it won the Diamond Award for best documentary, and at the Paris Independent Film Festival, where it won best documentary feature. The film was awarded as best documentary. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
