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
Celia (also known as Celia – The Sinister Affair of Poor Aunt Nora) is a 1949 British comedy-thriller second feature ('B') film directed by Francis Searle and starring Hy Hazell, Bruce Lester and John Bailey. Denis Wreford was the art director, Jimmy Sangster was second assistant and Phil Leakey handled makeup. It was written by A.R. Rawlinson and Searle, with additional dialogue by Roy Plomley, and was based on the 1948 BBC radio serial of the same title by Edward J. Mason. It was made by Hammer Films. It began production on 4 April 1949, and was completed on 12 May. It was released on 29 August 1949 to generally good reviews. The film had a built-in audience made up of listeners to the Celia BBC radio program, and Hammer thought the film would make Hy Hazell a star. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
