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 Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico is a 2005 Canadian mockumentary film. Written and directed by Michael Mabbott, the film stars Matt Murphy, a musician previously associated with the bands The Super Friendz and The Flashing Lights, as Guy Terrifico, a country singer long rumoured to have died three decades earlier, but now reemerging from his disappearance and releasing a new album. Murphy and Mabbott wrote the film's music, including the songs "Just a Show" and "Make Believe", which were nominated for Best Original Song at the 26th Genie Awards. The film won the award for Best Canadian First Feature Film at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival. In December 2005, it was named to TIFF's annual Canada's Top Ten list of the year's best Canadian films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
