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

Adventures of Casanova is a 1948 American-Mexican historical adventure film directed by Roberto Gavaldón and starring Arturo de Córdova, Lucille Bremer, and Turhan Bey. It portrays a fictional version of the story of Casanova, and was supposedly intended to capitalize off of the Errol Flynn film The Adventures of Don Juan (although the latter film was actually released later that same year after a long production process). The film's sets were designed by the art directors Jorge Fernandez and Alfred Ybarra. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
