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 assembles archive footage from the BFI National Archive to show life in India from 1899 to 1947. It presents a range of people and places, from maharajas to farmhands, and touches on the period leading up to Indian independence.
