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

The Kensington Studios (also known as the Viking Studios) were film production studios located in Kensington, London that operated between 1947 and 1950. The film I'm a Stranger (1952) was made there. During the 1950s, it was employed for commercial films, but television eventually took over as the studio's mainstay. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
