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 Cocama people of the Peruvian Amazon as they fight to protect the Marañón River which they believe is a living being inhabited by spirits called karuaras. It shows their traditions and their connection to the rainforest while condemning the cultural genocide they face.
