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 the director as he talks with people in Germany, Poland, and Israel about inherited trauma and the struggle to come to terms with past atrocities. The film also considers how these questions of identity and memory relate to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his own city of Haifa.
