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

Cinq Minutes de cinéma pur est un film muet français réalisé par Henri Chomette tourné en 1925 et sorti en 1926. Ce court-métrage expérimental reprend les effets d'un film précédent intitulé Jeux des reflets et de la vitesse commandité par le comte Étienne de Beaumont, et s'inscrit dans un courant d'avant garde appelé cinéma pur. Il a été acquis par le Centre Pompidou en 1976. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
