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
A documentary about Mel, a former Armenian weightlifter who lost everything after coming out as transgender. Now living in the Netherlands, he pursues his dream of gender transition while grappling with the sacrifices that come with it.
