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 short film is an animated visual interpretation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. It uses abstract shapes and patterns that move with the music, creating a sensory experience rather than telling a story.

What happens
Toccata et fugue en ré mineur est un court métrage d'animation américain réalisé par Walt Disney Productions comme une séquence de Fantasia (1940) basée sur la Toccata et fugue en ré mineur de Jean-Sébastien Bach. L'animation consiste en des dessins animés abstraits mélangeant ciel et figures géométriques, inspirés du travail de l'artiste abstrait allemand Oskar Fischinger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
