The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Finissant(e)s is a Canadian docufiction film, directed by Rafaël Ouellet and released in 2013. A hybrid of scripted fiction and documentary, the film is a portrait of a group of young people in Ouellet's hometown of Dégelis, Quebec, over the summer following their graduation from high school. The film's most noted cast member, Carla Turcotte, subsequently studied acting at university, and went on to a significant career in film and television. Production of the film was announced in 2012, just a few weeks after the premiere of Ouellet's prior film Camion. The film premiered at the 2013 Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois, before going into limited commercial release on March 1. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
