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
Les Créatures (English: The Creatures) is a 1966 fantasy drama film written and directed by Agnès Varda that recounts a story of a couple who have just moved to a new town and been in a car accident. The wife, Mylène Piccoli, loses her voice in the accident and communicates through writing. The husband, Edgar Piccoli, is a science fiction writer working to produce his next book. Les Créatures was an official selection of the 27th Venice International Film Festival, though it received mixed reviews. The film failed commercially. Varda later recycled the leftover film stock from the film as the basis for her Ma cabane de l'échec (My Shack of Failure). Ma cabane was made from film stock directly from the distribution copy and rearranged to form the structure of a cabin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
