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

Save My Lost Nigga Soul is a 1993 Canadian short film, directed by Clement Virgo. An adaptation of the story of Cain and Abel, it was made while Virgo was a student at the Canadian Film Centre. The film is about two Black Canadian brothers who live together but do not see eye to eye because one is a drug addict. Meanwhile their roommate, an aspiring stand-up comedian, is planning to use material about their disputes in his forthcoming performance debut. Virgo's later feature film Love Come Down was an expansion on the themes of Save My Lost Nigga Soul. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
