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

What happens
La Cambrure (The Curve) is a 1999 French short film shot on video, directed by Edwige Shaki, who also wrote the scenario. Éric Rohmer was a technical advisor for the short, which was produced by his production company. Despite being directed by Shaki, some of Rohmer's trademarks—such as extensive dialog and beautiful young actors, including Shaki herself—are present. The film was the first digital cinema production to be presented in a commercial theater, at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1999. It was produced in preparation for Rohmer's feature film The Lady and the Duke (2001), in which Shaki also appeared. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
