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
Documenteur also known as Documenteur: An Emotion Picture is a French-American feature film by French director Agnès Varda. The film debuted at the 1981 Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Sabine Mamou as a single mother and Varda's son Mathieu Demy as her son. Though the film stands on its own it was made as a companion piece to the documentary Mur Murs in which Varda filmed mural art around L.A. and interviewed the artists who had made the pieces. Many of the murals filmed in Mur Murs appears in Documenteur and the film even opens with the same image as Mur Murs ended on. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
