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 director returns to Israel in September 2023 to film protests against the government. She gains access to a police cavalry unit where she documents how imported Friesian horses become desensitized, and contrasts this with rural scenes, the West Bank, and manipulated archival footage.
