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 follows people from the Lebanese diaspora as they recall memories and feelings linked to their homeland. It shows them talking about distance and belonging through everyday moments and quiet conversations.
