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

The film stars Mouna Traoré as Joelle, a hairdresser at a Black Canadian hair salon who faces an unexpected challenge when Grace (Oluniké Adeliyi), a woman she knew in her prior life, drops in ostensibly for a haircut, but in fact with ulterior motives involving Joelle's immigration status. The film received production funding from the Harold Greenberg Fund in 2016, and premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films in December 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
