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

What happens
"화분"(花盆)은 하길종 각색·감독의 1972년 한국 영화로 이효석의 동명의 소설을 원작으로 한다. 사회적인 부조리를 해부한 영화로서 종래의 문예영화스타일과는 매우 이질적(異質的)인 개성을 가진 영화. 즉 세계적인 영화사조에 접근하려는 실험적(實驗的)인 영화다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
