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 filmmaker documents the demolition of a printing workshop in Lisbon's Bairro Alto neighborhood as luxury apartments replace it. The film turns into a personal diary about his changing hometown and the workers building it.
