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

L'Ambassade est un court métrage français réalisé par Chris Marker, sorti en 1973. Le film dure vingt minutes et le spectateur suppose qu'il se passe dans une ambassade située dans une grande ville d'Amérique du Sud, après un coup d'État (probablement le Chili après le coup d'État du Général Augusto Pinochet). La caméra reste dans l'ambassade et filme la vie au jour le jour des réfugiés, de l'ambassadeur et de sa femme qui les accueillent. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
