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
Out of True is a 1951 British second feature ('B') short drama-documentary film, directed by Philip Leacock and starring Jane Hylton and Muriel Pavlow. It was made by the Crown Film Unit with sponsorship from the Ministry of Health, and was promoted as a "fictional account of a nervous breakdown which conforms to the pattern of much of the mental illness occurring today". The film received a nomination in the category Best Documentary Film at the 1951 British Academy Film Awards. Its production was motivated, in part, by the U.S. film The Snake Pit, which some critics in the UK feared would cast all psychiatric hospitals in a negative light. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
