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.
How it feels
This 1923 silent short film by Hans Richter shows white, black, and gray rectangles moving across the screen. The shapes grow, shrink, and shift in straight or diagonal paths. A single pattern with non-parallel lines appears at the start and returns near the end.

What happens
Rhythmus 23 è un cortometraggio del 1923, diretto da Hans Richter. Elementi grafici, principalmente rettangoli bianchi o neri, più raramente grigi, e di rado figure a linee parallele graduate, vengono presentati in movimento, nel loro crescere e decrescere, ortogonalmente o diagonalmente rispetto allo schermo. Il motivo iniziale, l'unico a contenere linee non parallele, viene ripresentato verso la fine del film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
