Berth 24
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
Berth 24 (also known as Hull Docks; re-released as Dockers at Work) is a 1950 British documentary film produced by British Transport Films and directed by J. B. Holmes. The screenplay was by Montagu Slater. The musical score is by John Greenwood. The film concerns Hull Docks and specifically the unloading and reloading of a ship, the SS Bravo, heading back to Gothenburg. The 44-minute original was somewhat long in its capacity as a "filler" between feature films in the days when a ticket bought an A movie and a B-movie; it was re-released in 1953 as a 15-minute film entitled Dockers at Work. It was broadcast in the UK on 25 February 2021 on Talking Pictures TV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
