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
Storfolk og småfolk (Important People and Common People) is a Norwegian black-and-white comedy film from 1951 directed by Tancred Ibsen. Ibsen also write the script for the film. The film is based on five stories by Hans Aanrud and the action is set in rural Norway. It follows both high and low society, including village characters, wealthy individuals, farmers, and "old timers." The film was quite well received. Aftenposten wrote "In Mari Smehaugen and I bestefars ærend you feel something of the inner warmth and joy you had when you read the story in Aanrud's own language." Dagbladet wrote that "a number of our top actors appear and create down-to-earth theater sketches." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
