The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Black characters from anonymous British and American families speak directly about the racial injustice they face. The film is based on a play and keeps a simple style where people tell their own stories.

What happens

Ear for Eye (stylized as ear for eye) is a 2021 British drama film, written and directed by debbie tucker green, based upon her play of the same name. It stars Lashana Lynch, Tosin Cole, Carmen Munroe, Danny Sapani, Nadine Marshall, Arinzé Kene and Jade Anouka. Like the play, the characters are anonymous members of anonymous British and American families, telling their stories of the racial injustice experienced by Black citizens; in the play, they are simply identified as Mom, Dad, Woman and so on, though the film credits add UK or US to these identifiers. The film had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on 16 October 2021, and aired on the BBC on the same day. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
