The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Siege of the Saxons is a 1963 British medieval adventure film directed by Nathan H. Juran and released by Columbia Pictures. Starring Janette Scott and Ronald Lewis, the film is set in the time of King Arthur. As with many Arthurian films, the sets, style and much of the setting are based on England in the High Middle Ages, but anachronistically combined with elements of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain. The plot also contains elements of Robin Hood. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
