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 documentary about a film workshop for children in a working class neighborhood of Santiago. The children have never seen a movie. The film shows their learning process and also criticizes the police state under Pinochet.

What happens
Cien niños esperando un tren es un documental chileno de 1988, dirigido por Ignacio Agüero. Si bien intenta describir un taller de cine realizado por la profesora Alicia Vega en la población obrera Lo Hermida de Santiago, se transforma en una denuncia del estado policial en Chile durante la dictadura de Pinochet. Los niños nunca han ido al cine; de ahí el nombre, apelando a la obra de los hermanos Lumière. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
