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

Les Soldats au combat (戦ふ兵隊, Tatakau heitai) est un documentaire japonais réalisé par Fumio Kamei achevé en 1939 mais, interdit par la censure, il n'est pas montré au public et est considéré comme perdu jusqu'à ce qu'une copie soit retrouvée en 1976. Bien que Fumio Kamei s'en défende, Les Soldats au combat est unanimement considéré comme un film antiguerre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
