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
Searchers (Inuktitut: ᒪᓕᒡᓗᑎᑦ, romanized: Maliglutit) is a 2016 Inuktitut-language Canadian drama film directed by Zacharias Kunuk and Natar Ungalaaq, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Based in part on the 1956 John Ford film The Searchers, the film is set in Northern Canada in 1913. It centres on Kuanana (Benjamin Kunuk), a man who returns from hunting to discover that much of his family has been killed and his wife and daughter have been kidnapped. The film was shot in Nunavut with an entirely Inuit cast, and with contributions from a local crew. The production was troubled by extreme cold. It has received positive reviews in Canada, and was nominated for two Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Motion Picture. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
