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
The Box is a 1975 Australian film adaptation, based on the Australian soap opera of the same name produced by Crawford Productions and featuring much of the cast from the regular series, albeit on a different timeline from the series. The film also features Graham Kennedy playing himself, and Cornelia Frances in the key role of Dr. S. M. Winter, an efficiency expert brought in to improve operations at UCV-12. Robin Ramsay played Winter's assistant Bruce. Marilyn Vernon as starlet Ingrid O'Toole, and Leonie Bradley, credited as "Nature Girl", provide nude glimpses, as does the returning Belinda Giblin as Kaye Webster. Keith Lee played Price, and Robert Forza appeared as Channel 12's clapper loader. George Mallaby, whose character Paul Donovan had left the station to live in Bali, also returned; Paul briefly resumed his relationship with Kaye. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
