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
Crimson Gold (Persian: طلای سرخ, romanized: Talâ-ye Sorx) is a 2003 Iranian drama film directed by Jafar Panahi, and written by Abbas Kiarostami. The film stars Hossein Emadeddin as a pizza delivery man who witnesses corruption and class disparity in his city and is driven to crime. The film was never distributed in Iranian theatres, because it was considered too "dark". Therefore, it was not possible that Crimson Gold be considered as the Iranian entry for Best Foreign Language Film for the 2003 Oscars as it was not released in Iran. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
