The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

Based on the Aurélie Laflamme series of young adult novels by India Desjardins, the film stars Marianne Verville as the titular Aurélie Laflamme, a 14-year-old girl who feels like an outsider and is trying to figure out her place in the world. The film's cast includes Geneviève Chartrand as Aurélie's best friend Kat, Édith Cochrane as her mother, and Aliocha Schneider as her love interest Nicolas. The film opened in theatres in April 2010. The film received three Jutra Award nominations at the 13th Jutra Awards in 2011, for Best Supporting Actress (Chartrand), Best Costume Design (Julie-Anne Tremblay) and Best Original Music (Martin Léon).
