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

Forever Quebec (French: Infiniment Québec) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Jean-Claude Labrecque and released in 2008. The film is a portrait of life in Quebec City, made as part of the city's 400th anniversary celebrations that year. The film had originally been planned for 75 minutes in length and commercial distribution, but Labrecque had to revise his plans following the financial difficulties facing Christal Films. It received a theatrical screening at the city's Agora du Vieux-Port as part of the National Film Board of Canada's free screening series of documentary films about the city on July 2 and 3, but was otherwise distributed primarily through television broadcast on Télévision de Radio-Canada and ARTV. The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Documentary at the 29th Genie Awards in 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
