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

This documentary uses old newsreels from the 1930s to show how the public was given a biased view of events through propaganda and entertainment. It argues that similar forces shape how we see Northern Ireland today. The film makes its point clearly and directly.
