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
Iranian Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area share their stories of leaving Iran and building new lives over the past 50 years. The film follows students, activists, and artists as they deal with exile and shape the culture around them.
