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
Mandela: The Living Legend is a 2003 BBC documentary on the life of activist Nelson Mandela. It is a two-part documentary created by Dominic Allan with a one-person crew. Writing for The Guardian, Kathryn Flett described the documentary as "reverent and occasionally revealing" but concluded that it "wasn't the most penetrating and wildly insightful documentary ever made". In a review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom in Grantland, Wesley Morris described Mandela: The Living Legend as "chillingly patient" and "perfectly narrated by David Dimbleby".
