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 a non-binary trans person who cannot participate in a traditional Peruvian dance passed down from father to son in their family. The film explores their exclusion from a cherished cultural practice because of their gender identity.
