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

Freske fraspark (Fresh Push-Offs) is a Norwegian comedy film from 1963 directed by Bjørn Breigutu. The script was written by Kjell Aukrust and Breigutu. The story was previously arranged for stage for the Norwegian Theater in Oslo as the play Dobbeltsats og freske fraspark (Double Takeoff and Fresh Push-Offs), which was based on scenes from Aukrust's books Simen and Bror min, published in 1958 and 1960. Filming of Freske fraspark took place in Alvdal, Tolga, and Vingelen. The film was very poorly received by the reviewer at Verdens Gang, who gave it one star out of six. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
