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
La Vie et la Passion de Jésus-Christ is a French silent religious drama film released in 1898 and produced by the Lumière company. Directed by Georges Hatot in collaboration with Louis Lumière, the film presents a series of tableaux illustrating episodes from the life of Jesus Christ. Each scene was originally issued as a separate short film in the Lumière catalogue, numbered 933–945. The film is one of the earliest known cinematic representations of the Passion narrative and predates the more widely known Pathé production of the same title from 1903. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
