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.

The film premiered on November 17, 2019 at the Montreal International Documentary Festival. Ryan Randall won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Cinematography in a Documentary at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021, and was a nominee for the Canadian Society of Cinematographers' Robert Brooks Award for Documentary Cinematography.
