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

From Prisons to Prisons (French: De prisons en prisons) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Steve Patry and released in 2014. The film profiles three ex-convicts who are adapting to life on the outside after being released from prison, depicting the ways in which their situation, with the challenges and stereotypes that they're forced to confront in rebuilding their lives, constitutes its own ongoing form of prison. The film premiered at the 2014 Montreal International Documentary Festival, before going into commercial release in December. The film received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Documentary Film at the 17th Jutra Awards in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
