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.

What happens

McCanick is a 2013 American crime-drama mystery film directed by Josh C. Waller, written by Daniel Noah, and starring David Morse, Mike Vogel, Trevor Morgan, Ciarán Hinds, and Cory Monteith. This was one of Monteith's final feature film roles along with All the Wrong Reasons - both films were released at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival a few weeks after his death. McCanick had its theatrical release on March 21, 2014. Critics responded negatively to the film's derivative, cliché-filled plot and direction but were positive towards both Morse and Monteith for their performances. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
