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 is a silent film adaptation of Shakespeare's play about a merchant who borrows money from a Jewish moneylender and must repay the debt with a pound of his own flesh. It follows the deals and romantic pairings of characters in Venice and Belmont.
