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
“Navigation” is the name of a documentary film directed by Hossein Rajabian, the Iranian filmmaker. It was produced for an anthropological NGO in the Middle East, but was never released due to censorship in Iran. Because of the strong opposition of local authorities, he had to stop the production of the documentary in 2005 and continue it after four years. Rajabian became interested in the subject of the movie while he was on one of his photographing tours in the northern mountains of Semnan Province. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
