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 film made by shooting still panels of a manga and adding narration and camera movements. It follows a story about ninjas in feudal Japan.

What happens
Tales of the Ninja (Japanese: 忍者武芸帳, Hepburn: Ninja Bugeichō) (also known as Band of Ninja) is a 1967 Japanese film directed by Nagisa Ōshima. It is based on Sanpei Shirato's manga Ninja Bugeichō. Rather than making an animated adaptation, Ōshima decided to simply shoot the panels of the manga in order, adding narration and employing zooming and panning techniques. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
