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

Milk is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Heather Young and released in 2017. The film stars Babette Hayward as a woman working as a farmhand on a dairy farm, who finds herself facing an unplanned pregnancy of her own. Young has described the film as inspired by the contrast between the industrialization of the birthing process among farm animals, contrasted against the way pregnancy and motherhood are treated among humans. The film premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. It was subsequently named to TIFF's year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films in 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
