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
So Late So Soon is a 2020 American documentary film, director Daniel Hymanson's first feature. It is a portrait of Chicago artists Jackie and Don Seiden in their later years as health issues jeopardize their life together in a multicolored Victorian house, which had become a work of art in itself over the course of their 50-year marriage – as well as an icon in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. Though primarily observational in form, the film includes several moments of interaction with Hymanson as well as scenes that draw on archival footage, some of which the Seidens recorded themselves. Hymanson first met Jackie Seiden as a child, enrolling in her classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Don Seiden also taught at the Art Institute and founded its art therapy program. The film's production took place off and on over five years and received support from the Sundance Institute, Kartemquin Labs, the Illinois Arts Council, and IFP. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
