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

Buffet Infinity is a Canadian satirical comedy horror film, directed by Simon Glassman and released in 2025. A satire of consumerism inspired by Second City Television and told entirely through mock television commercials instead of a conventional narrative, the film centres on the fictional Westridge County in Alberta where two restaurants are fighting each other for dominance, spawning cults and sinkholes and other apocalyptic consequences. The cast includes Kevin Singh, Claire Theobald and Donovan Workun. Glassman began working on the film in 2020 as a short YouTube sketch before expanding the concept, shooting and reshooting hundreds of scenes for the film of which not all were actually used. The film premiered at the 29th Fantasia International Film Festival in July 2025, where Glassman received a special jury mention from Best Canadian Director award jury. The film has also been awarded Best Editing at the 2025 Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. Glassman additionally shot several promotional videos for the festival program, featuring characters from the film to highlight both Buffet Infinity and other films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
