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
A couple rushes to catch a ferry, leading to a fatal car accident. The film is a short drama that warns about the dangers of reckless driving.

What happens
Raggiunsero il traghetto (De nåede färgen) è uno dei due cortometraggi diretti da Carl Theodor Dreyer su incarico del Comitato ministeriale per la cinematografia danese. Girato nel 1948, Raggiunsero il traghetto aveva lo scopo di promuovere la prevenzione degli incidenti stradali. Non fu però realizzato come un documentario, sebbene appartenga al genere, bensì come un film a soggetto tratto da una novella di Johannes Vilhelm Jensen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
