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
Ally was Screaming is a 2014 Canadian dark comedy-thriller film written and directed by Jeremy Thomas, as well as his second feature film. The film explores the psychological and moral ramifications of "doing a bad thing in order to achieve a good result". Two men (Charlie Carrick and Giacomo Baessato) grieving for their best friend (Arielle Rombough) discover her winning lottery ticket. The men try to figure out how they can keep it, at first fantasizing, then actually debating, and finally plotting to murder the executrix of Ally's estate, her sister (Camille Sullivan), who otherwise would allow the winnings to go to their dead friend's abusive husband. Shot in Calgary, where it also had its premiere as the closing gala film at the Calgary International Film Festival, the film features music performed by the Calgary Civic Symphony. It has received favourable reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
