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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Conspiracy of Silence is a 1991 Canadian television film, presented in a two-episode miniseries, based on the true story of the murder of Helen Betty Osborne, a Canadian cold case that was solved after sixteen years of inaction. The film was aired in 1991 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, but was never released on VHS or DVD. Michael Mahonen, one of the primary cast stars from the film, later released it for free to his own channel on YouTube, which is the only public copy available not privately stored in CBC's archives. Actress Michelle St. John, better known for her voice role as Nakoma in the Disney Pocahontas franchise, played the role of Osborne. It was awarded Best Dramatic Miniseries at the 7th Gemini Awards, among seven total wins. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
