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
Artists and Orphans: A True Drama (known in Russian as Артисты и сироты: Настоящая драма) is a 2001 American documentary film documenting a group of American artists traveling to the Republic of Georgia for an art festival, and their subsequent effort to provide humanitarian aid to a group of local orphans. Directed and written by Lianne Klapper McNally, upon its debut in 2001, the Daily Nexus described it as "heart-wrenching and eventually heart-warming," as well as "short, gritty and brilliantly scored." The film won Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and it was nominated for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 74th Academy Awards. Artists and Orphans had won multiple film festival awards by 2002, debuting on television several months later through WE tv. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
