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
Hunters of the Night (Yön saalistajat) is a 1984 Finnish action thriller film produced and directed by Visa Mäkinen. The film is about a police officer who infiltrates a criminal organization operating in Pori. The film shows violence and nudity more frankly than was generally the case in Finnish entertainment films of the 1980s; upon release, the film was rated K-18 by the Finnish Board of Film Classification. Hunters of the Night received mixed reviews from critics. It was seen in theaters by only 1,670 viewers, but in its first television broadcast in 1987 by almost one and a half millions, although MTV3 initially showed the reels in the wrong order and restarted the show so that the total TV broadcast lasted two and a half hours.
