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 documentary about journalist Maria Ressa and her news site Rappler as they face legal attacks and harassment from the Philippine government under President Rodrigo Duterte. The film shows the high stakes for press freedom in a country where speaking truth to power carries heavy personal and professional costs.
