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
The Tell-Tale Heart is a 1953 British short film directed by J.B. Williams and starring Stanley Baker (the sole member of the cast). It was written by Williams based on the 1843 short story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe, and was produced by Adelphi Films. The film was believed lost until it became known in October 2018 that a 16mm copy was inadvertently bought in a Brighton junk shop in 1984 by Jeff Wells. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
