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
The filmmaker returns to locations in the Charlevoix region of Quebec that were photographed by Gabor Szilasi in 1970. She reflects on how the places and the people living there have changed over 35 years.
