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
Perkele! Kuvia Suomesta (English: Fuck Off! Images from Finland) is a 1971 Finnish documentary film written and co-directed by Jörn Donner with Jaakko Talaskivi and Erkki Seiro. The filmmakers traveled around Finland in 1970, interviewing random citizens and well-known public figures at time. The interviewees talk and express their opinions on, among other things, politics, contemporary phenomena, and their own everyday lives. The visual narrative is punctuated by socially conscious songs composed by M. A. Numminen and written by Jarkko Laine; the songs were compiled into the soundtrack album Perkele! Lauluja Suomesta. The original version of the film was not approved by the censor board until February 1986. Yle TV1 has previously broadcast a cut version in 1973 and 1996 under the short title Kuvia Suomesta. Swedish television aired an uncut version of the film. In 2017, Donner directed a sequel, Perkele 2, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Finland's independence. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
