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

The Fabulous Voyage of the Angel (French: Le fabuleux voyage de l'ange) is a Canadian fantasy comedy film, directed by Jean Pierre Lefebvre and released in 1991. The film stars Daniel Lavoie as Francis, a taxi driver and comic book artist who begins drawing a fantastical comic series about an intergalactic taxi driver in outer space, only to find that the stories he imagines for his comic strip start to materialize in real life. The film also stars Geneviève Grandbois as Francis's daughter Ève, and Marcel Sabourin as his brother Rival. Lavoie, a prominent singer-songwriter prior to his acting role in the film, also composed the music. Lavoie and Lefebvre received a Genie Award nomination for Best Original Song at the 12th Genie Awards, for "Quand tu partiras". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
