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

Samarang is a 1933 American Pre-Code action film directed by Ward Wing and written by Thomas J. Geraghty. The film was released on June 28, 1933, by United Artists. Its copyright was registered in 1933 but was not renewed, so the film is in the public domain. The film, although apparently meant to be set in Indonesia (then the Dutch East Indies) was filmed in Singapore and Malaysia. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
