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
Beneath the Surface (French: Le Lac des hommes, lit. 'The Lake of Men') is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Marie-Geneviève Chabot and released in 2021. An exploration of modern masculinity, the film centres on Laurent Sirois, a man who is on a fishing trip with his sons Jean-Pierre, Stéphane and Jérôme, who are all dealing with their complicated relationship after his separation and divorce from their mother largely removed him from their childhood. The film premiered at the 2021 Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma. It was later screened at the 2022 Canadian Film Festival, where Chabot won the DGC Ontario award for best director, and at the 2022 Festival de films d’auteurs de Val-Morin.
