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

Wozzeck is a 1947 German drama film directed by Georg C. Klaren and starring Kurt Meisel, Max Eckard, and Helga Zülch. It is based on the play Woyzeck by Georg Büchner. (The play, which was first performed in 1913, nearly 80 years after Büchner's death, had been originally billed as Wozzeck due to a misreading of Büchner's handwriting.) The film's sets were designed by Bruno Monden and Hermann Warm. It was shot at Babelsberg and the Althoff Studios in Potsdam. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
