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
Inner Jellyfishes (French: Les Méduses) is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Marc-Antoine Lemire and released in 2015. The film stars Rudi Duperré as a young gay man struggling with feelings of isolation who hooks up with another man (Samuel Brassard) for sex, but finds that the encounter intensifies rather than assuaging his loneliness as he experiences a desire for a deeper emotional connection than the hookup is willing or able to offer. The film's screenings included the 2015 Image+Nation festival and the 2015 San Francisco International Festival of Short Films, where it won the Vanguard Award. It was screened at BFI Flare in 2016 as part of a program of films about chemsex, with the website The Conversation praising it as one of the only films in the program that did not moralize about the practice.
