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

Sin (Swedish: Synd, German: Rausch) is a 1928 silent drama film directed by Gustaf Molander and starring Lars Hanson, Elissa Landi and Gina Manès. A German-Swedish-British co-production, it premiered in Sweden in September 1928 but was not released in London until January 1929. It was shot at the Råsunda Studios in Stockholm and on location in the city. The film's sets were designed by the art director Vilhelm Bryde, who also produced the film. It is based on an 1899 play Brott och brott (There are crimes and crimes) by August Strindberg which had previously been made into a 1919 film Intoxication, directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
