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.

What happens
Éloge du chiac est un documentaire québécois et acadien réalisé par Michel Brault et sorti en 1969. Tourné en parallèle avec L'Acadie, l'Acadie?!?, ce court métrage représente un contrepoint instructif sur les différentes utilisations du cinéma direct, mais aussi sur un moment important de l'expression acadienne, alors que l'Acadie vibrait d'un renouveau porté par Louis J. Robichaud. Le documentaire se veut un miroir de la crise identitaire québécoise de la même période. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
