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
Calcutta er en dansk udviklingsbistandsfilm fra 1978 instrueret af Peter Dalhoff-Nielsen. I delstaten Vestbengalen i Indien er der for lidt jord at dyrke og for mange munde at mætte. Derfor strømmer tusinder dagligt til storbyen Calcutta i et forsøg på at overleve. Men det løser ikke deres problemer. De ender fattigere end nogensinde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
