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
It is a documentary about overprescription of drugs in Quebec and how pharmaceutical companies push for more profit often at the expense of patients. The filmmaker discovers a document tracking all prescriptions written by doctors which lets sales reps monitor their influence on each physician.

What happens
Québec sur ordonnance est un film documentaire québécois réalisé par Paul Arcand, sorti en salles en octobre 2007 Produit par Denise Robert et Daniel Louis, le film traite de la surconsommation de médicaments au Québec ainsi que des manipulations de l'industrie pharmaceutique visant à engranger davantage de profits, parfois au détriment des malades. Pendant ses recherches, Paul Arcand découvrira qu'il existe un document compilant toutes les prescriptions faites par les médecins dans une année. Ce document, mis à jour tous les trois mois, permet aux représentants pharmaceutiques de suivre en direct l'évolution de leur opération de charme auprès de chaque médecin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
