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
Song of Tibet (Yixizuoma, Yeshe Dolma) (2000) is a Chinese film directed by Xie Fei, one of the "Four Generation" directors. It tells a Tibetan woman's love stories with three men in the last century of Tibetan history during the social change from Serfdom to modern society. Xie Fei went to Tibet 5 times to do research and choose locations. He said this his most beloved and involved film and he put a lot of thought and energy into the film. The film was censored by the government for 6 months and revised several times. When it was released in limited theaters, it did not meet Xie Fei's expectation. So he decided not to make films and became a producer, critic and film festival jury. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
