The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

The Big Trail (French: La Piste des géants) is a 1931 French western film directed by Pierre Couderc and starring Gaston Glass and Jeanne Helbling. It is the French-language version of Fox's The Big Trail (1930) starring John Wayne and directed by Raoul Walsh. In the early years of sound it was common to make multiple-language versions of films, until the practice of dubbing became more widespread. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
