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 woman sits in a bare room while a man cleans and redresses her leg stump. The film intercuts with a different version of the same scene.

What happens
The Amputee est un court métrage américain réalisé par David Lynch en 1974. Pendant la période où Lynch travaillait sur Eraserhead, Fred Elmes, qui avait aidé Lynch dans son premier film, devait tester du matériel audiovisuel. Lynch profita de cette occasion pour réaliser un petit court métrage avec lui et Catherine E. Coulson (la femme à la bûche de Twin Peaks). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
