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
In 1980 South Africa, a group of anti-apartheid activists take hostages inside a bank in Silverton. The film follows the standoff with police and the personal stakes for everyone inside the building.
