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 short documentary shows daily life in a Quebec town where almost everyone works at the paper mill. It uses experimental sound and editing to emphasize how factory machines set the pace for the whole community.

What happens
Day After Day (French: Jour après jour) is a 1962 Canadian short documentary film, directed by Clément Perron for the National Film Board of Canada. The film documents the routines of working-class life in a small paper mill town in Quebec where most of the 6,500 inhabitants derive their livelihood from one industry. Using experimental sound and film editing techniques, it illustrates how much the town's public life is defined by the repetitive rhythms of the machines in the mill. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
