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 young woman is hired to watch over a teenager who has a history of violent behavior. Strange events start happening in the house during her nighttime shifts.

What happens
Louis Bélanger (born 1964) is a Canadian film director and screenwriter. He has a degree in communications from UQAM. He is a collaborator of filmmaker Denis Chouinard; both men created several short films together before branching off into their own careers with feature films. His film Post Mortem won him Best Director at the Montreal World Film Festival and earned him two Genie Awards, for best new director and best screenplay. He began making films and long-form videos while a student. He shot videos for Télévision Suisse Romande in the late 1990s before turning to directing his first feature, Post Mortem in 1999. His follow-up was Lauzon-Lauzone, a documentary about director Jean-Claude Lauzon, and a second feature in 2003, Gaz Bar Blues. Influenced by the man-of-the-people-docudrama style of John Cassavetes and Ken Loach, he has said that "there aren’t any new stories to tell; all that matters is the telling."
