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
Gender Reveal is a Canadian short comedy horror film, written and directed by Mo Matton and released in 2024. The film stars Ayo Tsalithaba as Rhys, a non-binary and polyamorous people pleaser who reluctantly brings their partners Ting (Ke Xin Li) and Mati (Lyraël Alex Dauphin) to the gender reveal party of their boss Marc (Alexandre Bacon) and his pregnant wife Chloe (Lauren Beatty), only to witness events at the party spiral horrifically out of control. The film premiered in the Leopard of Tomorrow (Pardi di Domani) program at the 77th Locarno Film Festival, and had its Canadian premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. Later screenings included the 2024 Festival du nouveau cinéma, where it won the Public Prize as the most popular short film in the national short film competition. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
