The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in.

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
Ganito Kami Noon... Paano Kayo Ngayon? (lit. 'This Was How We Were Then... How Are You Doing Now?') is a 1976 Philippine period drama film directed by Eddie Romero from a story and screenplay he co-wrote with Roy C. Iglesias. Set in the end of Spanish colonization and the beginning of American colonization in the Philippines, it stars Christopher de Leon and Gloria Diaz in the lead roles. The film was selected as the Philippine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 49th Academy Awards but was not accepted as a nominee. In 2013, ABS-CBN Film Archives, in partnership with Central Digital Lab, digitally restored and remastered the film and was subsequently released in select theaters for a limited period. The digitally restored version was also released on DVD and iTunes. On the same year, the film was inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World National Register of the Philippines.
