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 Temple (French: Le Temple) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Alain Fournier and released in 2022. Based on the H. P. Lovecraft short story "The Temple", the film centres on the crew of a German U-boat, who witness strange phenomena before an explosion in the engine room, and descend into madness as the vessel sinks to the bottom of the ocean. The film premiered in October 2022 at the Sitges Film Festival. It had its Canadian premiere later the same month at the 2022 Abitibi-Témiscamingue International Film Festival, where it was the winner of the Prix Crave for best short film by a director from Quebec. The film received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Animated Short at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
