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
Walking After Midnight is a 1988 Canadian documentary film directed by Jonathan Kay. It screened in the Perspectives Canada section of the Toronto Festival of Festivals in late 1988. The film features celebrities from film and music, as well as the Dalai Lama, discussing reincarnation and speculating on their past lives. Narrated by Ringo Starr, it includes appearances by Martin Sheen, James Coburn, k.d. lang, Willie Nelson, Donovan, Catherine Oxenberg, Rae Dawn Chong and Helen Shaver. The stories are supported by musical accompaniment and partly told through re-enactments.
