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 Dark Wind is a 1991 American mystery drama film based on The Dark Wind by Tony Hillerman, one of a series of mysteries set against contemporary Navajo life in the Southwest. Directed by documentary filmmaker Errol Morris in his fiction debut, it stars Lou Diamond Phillips as Jim Chee and Fred Ward as Joe Leaphorn. Robert Redford acted as executive producer, hoping for a series of films, but was ultimately unhappy with the result, which he called "a false start", "miscast" and "ill-conceived", and it was not distributed. However, Redford would persist in his efforts to adapt Hillerman's books, acting as executive producer on the film Skinwalkers in 2002, and on the television series Dark Winds (2022–present), which would be his final work.
