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

What happens
Serengeti Shall Not Die (German: Serengeti darf nicht sterben; also known as Serengeti ) is a 1959 German documentary film written and directed by Bernhard Grzimek. It was also the title of a book written by Bernhard Grzimek (with his son Michael included as a coauthor) which was published in 1961, translated from German and published by E. P.
