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 profiles thirteen women pilots who passed the same rigorous physical and psychological tests as the male Mercury astronauts in 1960. It tells how they were ultimately excluded from the space program due to gender discrimination.
