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.
How it feels
This experimental short film repurposes old footage of a streetcar ride through early 20th century San Francisco. The filmmaker slows the original film down so that the cityscape appears to drift by in a dreamy and patient way.

What happens
Eureka, also known as Geography, is a 1979 American experimental short film by Ernie Gehr. It uses as its source material A Trip Down Market Street, a 1906 phantom ride which traverses Market Street in San Francisco. Gehr rephotographed the film, slowing it considerably by capturing each frame multiple times. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
