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
Alice steps through a mirror into a backward world where chess pieces come to life and poems are recited in reverse. She meets talking flowers, a fussy Red Queen, and nonsense characters from Carroll's story.

What happens
Alice Through the Looking Glass (Russian: Алиса в Зазеркалье, romanized: Alisa v Zazerkale) is a 1982 Soviet fantasy comedy animated short film, based on Lewis Carroll's 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass. The film was produced by Kievnauchfilm and directed by Ephram Pruzhansky. It was narrated by a selection of the best Soviet actors at the time, including Rostislav Plyatt, Marina Neyolova (Alice), Nikolai Karachentsov, and Liya Akhedzhakova. The text mostly follows the Russian translation of the book by Nina Demurova (poems translated by Samuil Marshak), but it was shortened to fit to the 38 minutes duration. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
