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
La Voluntad del Muerto (English: The Will of the Dead Man) is a Spanish-language version of The Cat Creeps (1930), both of which are now considered to be lost films. Both films were adaptations of the 1922 play The Cat and the Canary by John Willard. The film was directed by George Melford and stars Antonio Moreno, Lupita Tovar, Andrés de Segurola, Roberto E. Guzmán, Paul Ellis, Lucio Villegas, Agostino Borgato, Conchita Ballesteros, María Calvo, and Soledad Jiménez. A premiere gala was held for the film at Los Angeles' California Theatre on January 23, 1931. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
