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
Liebe Dein Symptom wie Dich selbst! (German: Thou shalt love thy symptom as thyself; 1996) is a German documentary film about the Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek. The title of the film is taken from a book published under the same name by Žižek via Merve Verlag, a Berlin-based publisher with leftist orientation. The film opens with Žižek sharing a joke that he has repeated elsewhere. This river here is the official geographical limit between the Balkans and Mitteleuropa. So, beware! On the other side: Horror, oriental despotism, women get beaten, get raped, and like it. On this side: Europe, civilization, women get beaten, get raped, and don’t like it. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
