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
Submission is a 2004 English-language Dutch short drama film produced and directed by Theo van Gogh, and written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a former member of the Dutch House of Representatives for the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy). It was shown in Zomergasten on VPRO, a Dutch television show, on 29 August 2004. The film's title is one of the possible translations of the Arabic word "Islam". An Islamist, Mohammed Bouyeri, reacted to the film by assassinating Van Gogh. Van Gogh was the great-grandnephew of painter Vincent van Gogh. His death led to widespread condemnation and protests across the Netherlands. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
