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
The film shows the economic struggles of a group of young people in Winnipeg. It uses editing and a stream of consciousness style rather than a traditional story.

What happens
88:88 is a 2015 Canadian experimental docudrama film, directed by Isiah Medina. A meditation on poverty, the film depicts the economic struggles of a group of young people in Winnipeg, using editing instead of narrative to drive the film in a stream of consciousness manner described by some critics as the filmic equivalent of a mixtape. The film's cast includes Erik J. Berg, Eliza Bronte, Avery Medina, Myles Taylor and Anna Valencia. The film's title is a reference to the 88:88 that displays on a digital clock after a power interruption. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival in August 2015, and had its Canadian premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was added to the Mubi platform in 2016, and to YouTube later in the year. The film was named the sixth best undistributed film of 2015 in the 2015 IndieWire Critics Poll. At the 2016 Vancouver Film Critics Circle awards, Medina received a nomination for Best Director of a Canadian Film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
