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
Kinesisk bordtennis er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1972 med instruktion og manuskript af Jørgen Leth. En eksperimenterende sportsfilm dels optaget under Scandinavian Open Championships i Halmstad, 1970, dels under de kinesiske bordtennisspilleres opvisningsturné i Danmark umiddelbart efter SOC. Filmen er først og fremmest om kinesernes stil - om de artistiske højdepunkter, når bordtennis er bedst, den registrerer Kinas come-back i den internationale idrætsverden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
