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
Coming Out is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Alden Peters. It follows Peters while he comes out as a gay man to multiple people, including his parents, siblings, and friends. Peters also interviews experts, including activist Janet Mock, psychologist Ritch Savin-Williams, and journalist Zach Stafford, to provide broader context about the experience of coming out. The documentary premiered on September 10, 2015, at the DOCUTAH film festival, where it won the "Audience Favorite" award. The following month it was shown at the MiFo LGBT Film Festival in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and at the New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival (NewFest). It won the Best Documentary award at Festival MIX Milano in 2016, and also appeared that year at the Queer Lisboa International Queer Film Festival. It was released on DVD and iTunes in October 2016.
