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

What happens
The Air Circus is a 1928 American sound part-talkie drama film directed by Howard Hawks and starring Arthur Lake, Sue Carol, David Rollins, and Louise Dresser. It is the first of Hawks's aviation films. The film featured a talking sequence that lasted about 15 minutes with the rest of the film being synchronized with a musical score with sound effects. The soundtrack was recorded using the sound-on-film Movietone process. The film is notable as the first aviation oriented film with dialogue. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
