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
A clay-animated film from 1983 that uses absurd humor. It loosely adapts folk fairy tales and follows a hapless peasant character. The story is full of bizarre situations and memorable one-liners.

What happens
Last Year's Snow Was Falling (Russian: Падал прошлогодний снег; translit. Padal proshlogodniy sneg) is a 1983 Soviet clay-animated film directed by Alexander Tatarsky (T/O Ekran studio). The film reached a cult status after its first appearance on Central TV. The aphoristic remarks of the characters, full of absurd humor, turned into colloquial proverbs. For this work Tatarsky received the Silver Cooker award at the 1983 Varna International Film Festival. Loosely based on some folk fairy tales. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
