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
De trofaste døde er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1997, der er instrueret af Anders Leifer. Filmen handler om mexicanernes livs- og dødssyn. "For de gamle mexicanere var modsætningen mellem liv og død ikke så absolut. Døden var ikke den naturlige afslutning på livet, men en fase i et uendeligt kredsløb." (Octavio Paz). Filmen sporer traditionen i en bevægelse fra Mexico City til Michoacán-statens fejring af De Dødes Dag 2. november. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
