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
If the Stars Had a Sound is a 2024 biographical film that focuses on the career of Scottish rock band Mogwai, and was directed by Antony Crook. After showings at SXSW in March 2024, and at various film festivals, it was released in UK and Ireland cinemas for a one-night showing on 19 November 2024, and will be released theatrically in the US to coincide with the band's tour there in 2025. The film was nominated for "Best Documentary Feature" at the 2024 Raindance Film Festival. The title of the film is taken from part of a spoken sample that opens "Yes! I Am a Long Way from Home", the first track on the band's debut album. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
