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
A 1960s Israeli movie uses a story within a story to make fun of politics and society. It comes in two parts and tips its hat to old silent films.

What happens
Hole in the Moon (Hebrew: חור בלבנה; Hor B'Levana) is a 1964 Israeli avant-garde-satiric movie directed by Uri Zohar. It was the first film to emerge from the New Sensibility movement in Israeli cinema. The film comprises two parts and employs the movie within a movie structure. The title of the film derives from a famous Hebrew song (that itself is based on a Czech folk melody) and also pays tribute to Georges Méliès's film A Trip to the Moon (1902). It was Zohar's final political film and since its release has garnered the status of Israeli cinema classic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
