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
Ocean (French: Océan) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Catherine Martin and released in 2002. Centred on the Océan passenger train from Montreal to Halifax, the film mixes footage from a trip on the train with interviews on the cultural and historical significance of train travel, touching particularly on themes of memory and nostalgia for past times when long-distance travel by rail was much more common than it is in the 21st century. The film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
