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
Lindsay Anderson made this documentary for British Film Year in 1985. It looks back at the Free Cinema movement he helped create while attacking the state of British cinema and the goals of British Film Year. The film is mordantly funny and very savage.
