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

Those Who Come, Will Hear (French: Ceux qui viendront, l'entendront) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Simon Plouffe and released in 2018. A meditation on the importance of language in the maintenance of Indigenous Canadian culture and tradition, the film documents the day-to-day life of various First Nations and Inuit communities in Quebec where indigenous languages are spoken, sometimes fluently and sometimes in code switching to English or French. The film premiered at the 2018 Ann Arbor Film Festival. It had its Canadian premiere at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival, where it received an honorable mention from the Colin Low Award jury. The film's sound team (Cyril Bourseaux, Mélanie Gauthier, Simon Léveillé, Simon Plouffe, Lynne Trépanier, Jean Paul Vialard and Shikuan Shetush Vollant) won the Prix Iris for Best Sound in a Documentary at the 21st Quebec Cinema Awards in 2019.
