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 1931 film mixes anthropological footage of Pacific and Australian native peoples with a made-up story. It was lost for decades before being found and released on DVD in 2010.

The film took previously released anthropological footage of native peoples in the Pacific and Australia, and added a sensationalized storyline. After its 1947 re-screening the film went missing.
