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
War Department Report is a 1943 American documentary film directed by Carl Marzani. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film's primary intended audience was war workers; it consisted of "battle footage, analysis of Axis military and industrial strength, and pep talks about America's superior resources." Some of the footage came from John Ford's Field Photo section of the Office of Strategic Services. The Academy Film Archive preserved War Department Report in 2012. The film is part of the Academy War Film Collection, one of the largest collections of World War II era short films held outside government archives. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
