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
A short film that looks at what people do with their free time during vacation. It follows someone who feels most free and most alone in the street as they look for friends and eventually form a group.

What happens
Vivent les pénitences est un film belge du réalisateur Christian Mesnil tourné en 1966. Ce film est une évocation brève et particulière du problème des loisirs pendant les vacances. La rue, c'est là qu'il se sent le plus libre, le plus indépendant, le plus seul aussi. Il cherche des copains : la bande se forme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
