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.
How it feels

What happens
Sisterhood (French: Ainsi soient-elles) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Maxime Faure and released in 2019. The film profiles the Society of Helpers of the Holy Spirit, a Montreal-based social justice-oriented order of Roman Catholic nuns who are now in decline as only eight of them remain and all are in their 80s. The film premiered in November 2019 at the Montreal International Documentary Festival, and continued to have film festival screenings in 2020, although due to the disruptions of film distribution in 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it only went into wider commercial release in 2021. Léna Mill-Reuillard received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Cinematography in a Documentary at the 24th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
