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
Two filmmakers canoe down a Quebec river before hydroelectric dams are built. They question the project and argue for less harmful energy alternatives.

What happens
Chercher le courant est un film documentaire québécois, réalisé par Nicolas Boisclair et Alexis de Gheldere, sorti sur les écrans en 2010. Le film met en scène les deux réalisateurs explorant en canot la Romaine, une rivière québécoise, avant que des barrages hydroélectriques n'y soient construits. Ce « river movie » questionne la pertinence d'un tel projet et fait valoir d'autres solutions sur le plan énergétique, a priori moins destructrices et plus rentables économiquement.
